Not being able to play with friends

Hello,

Any update on this?  We’re the videos helpful?  Do you need more information?  I traveled last week and tried playing from that location and had the same issue so it definitely seems to be tied to PSN account somehow.  The list of people that I can’t play with gets longer every day.  Very frustrating.

Thanks

Hey Illium this group has been very respectful and patient just waiting for a response or an update, could we please have some information on if the issue has been identified or if EA doesn't care and we should just move on.

• I’ve been having this same problem for months. 
  I posted a message about it in the “suggestions forum” on the main page and never got a response. 
  It started doing it after like the third update when the game first came out. 
  Then after a smaller update, it fixed for a while, but then it started happening again, and it’s been happening ever since. 6 months or so. 
  Makes the game unplayable because that’s the only mode that my friends and I play. 
  Sometimes it happens with 5 people. 
  We end up having to play with a threesome and a twosome, or two twosomes, which defeats the purpose of online play. 
  We play on Xbox. 
  We’ve tried everything. Deleting cache, joining one by one, joining through the game, joining through the Xbox live party, joining all at the same time, joining on the person that is already in the lobby, joining from the Xbox Home Screen, trying during the day, at night, starting a match with 2 and having a lobby with two then inviting the two that were already in a round, deleting the game and reinstalling it. 
• 99% of the time, we try once to get it to work, and when it doesn’t we all just play a different game because it sucks that we can’t all play together.
  Such a shame because this is such a great game. 
  Before this, we were still playing Rory. 

It started happening after the 5th update, then it fixed after a small update, and then it stopped working after Update 6. 

I had to go back and look at my posts in the other forum. It started last August, so I was right; 7 months. 

• Platform (or client): Xbox
• EA ID (PSN ID/Gamertag): Rondizzel13
• Are you getting an error message? No
• Does this happen to any other account on the device? Yes, any accounts we try
• What type of network are you using? (Wired, Wireless, Hotspot) Wired
• Is anything else happening? 
• Any combination of 4+ people doesn’t work. 
  As soon as the 4th person joins, we call get kicked form the EA Servers. 

Product: EA SPORTS PGA TOUR
Platform:Xbox Series X
Summarize your bug There are widespread connectivity issues in online gaming (any mode). Certain players crash the entire lobby when they join the lobby. This happens in match play, foursomes, and stroke. For example, there could be 10 players waiting in the lobby, and as soon as the 11th player joins, the whole lobby loses connection and gets sent back to the home screen. The same issue occurs often while trying to set up private games. It has been happening since game launch with zero fixes on EA's part. Several players have tried all of the troubleshooting tips offered on various forums and on this website. Nothing works. It makes the game unplayable at times
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Not sure how, other than trying to play online and eventually seeing this happen.
What happens when the bug occurs? See above
What do you expect to see? I expect a fix that works, other than continuous useless suggestions on how to improve our connectivity, which has no issue on any other EA games.

8 days? Where did you hear this. Pro Pass has another 6 weeks to run.

@Mark_MiwurdzI just said that a new season starts in 8 days. It's reasonable to think that they have an update to coincide with the new season as that is how the game has worked since April of last year.  The current season ends after next monday. (you can see this based on the end date of the seasonal tournament)
