Hi, I don't have an exact solution but here is what has worked for me:
MOST IMPORTANT Don't play Turf Takeover right now, especially when the servers are very full. Check steam charts for PVZGW2 to see if there is a lot of people playing currently (usually from ~8pm-1pm EST). If when you are trying to connect to a game, and it is constantly saying 'Failed to connect', it usually means whatever gamemode you are queueing for is going to have trouble syncing. I know it's not as great for money, but Suburbination and Gnome Bomb have been my go to for now and have given me much better consistency with syncing to backyard. Infinity Time and Garden Ops with friends are also fine with syncing because they are hosted by whoever was hosting the backyard you came from, not by EA servers. Turf Takeover servers are just way too full right now so they are falling apart.
Do Not Return To Backyard After Matches, the servers are struggling so bad with all the new players right now, the game needs a bit of time after matches to sync to backyard. This has not worked 100% of time for me, but my current method is to NOT HIT RETURN TO BACKYARD ON THE RESULTS SCREEN. Instead, load into the next match, and just quit out of the game. This is suppose to have better consistency, and give the game a better chance of saving.
This is a really annoying issue, but it is most definetely due to the EXTREMELY HIGH amount of people playing right now. The game was at ~1000 active players before December, and now it is at ~9000. The servers need fixing, but for now I hope this helps a bit. Turf Takeover is the most popular gamemode, hence why Turf Takeover is going to give you the most issue.
