For NHL 2K24, I am having difficulties activating my other controllers for couch multi-player online versus play. When attempting to add controller I keep getting - "Error: Maximum Controller Added" Another prompt I get is " User failed the privilege checks".I've never had this happen before and I can't for the life of me get my multi-player to work for online versus play.I resynched my controllers and also cleared and rebooted my entire system. Did not help and I can't find assistance for this issue anywhere. Please help. Thank you

Removed wireless headset and rebooted. Seems to be working now. Thank you 👍

Are you hitting LB to add a friend and then are selecting Add Controllers?

Do you happen to have anything else plugged into the USB ports? A headset receiver, racing wheel, dongle for another controller etc.? If so, remove it and try again. If that doesn't apply, can you get me a video of this? Just put it up on a service like YouTube and link it in a response.

What mode are you trying to play? What is happening when you try to play with a guest?
