I don't know this, but I suspect that both players need to have EA accounts in order to play online split screen, that it cannot be done logging in as "guest." I'm certain that multiple PS plus or xbox live accounts are not needed.

So, how do you create this free account?

Do you mean a PS account, or an EA account? PS accounts can be made online I believe - start here:

You'll be looking to sign in to your account first, then poke around to see where to add another user. If that doesn't work, try making it from settings -> accounts (or something like that) from your PS. Typing is so much more convenient on the computer, though.
As far as I can tell, this is where you go to make an Origin account with EA:

Hope this helps!

We figured it out, you can't use local accounts. Each of the players needs to create one of the free playstation accounts, no need for a PS plus subscription. Then it will ask to also set up an ea account when you first log into pvz. You can't initiate the game from the free account though unless you trick it a bit. The fist player with the ps plus account needs to initially start the game.Strange. I'm able to start the game from my account, or my daughter's, which is a sub account.

We also got this to work on an Xbox One after a week of disappointment thinking it would not work. At first Multiplayer had a red X through it when in split screen mode. But all it took was 2nd player logging on with FREE Microsoft account instead of being a guest. Once 2nd profile was created using the MS account we have been online gaming split screen ever since!
There is not a lot of info on how to do this and LOADS of posts saying online split screen does not work, but it does. Not sure if it was added after the fact and not in initial release but for sure it works now. :-)
