Re: Plants vs Zombies Gw2- unable to connect 2nd player to EA server

The second person needs to have a PSN account in order for their progress to be saved. You need to add them to your account as a sub account. They need to have their own email address for both PSN and for EA because you'll need to log into both. It took me about 1/2 hour to do it for a family member (once I figured out what I needed to do).

You don't need to add them as a sub account. Just have their account on the PS4. Have them turn on a controller to sign in. Then, use the splitscreen thing in the game, then they press options, and it loads up the backyard in splitscreen.

was all I could find

    I'm really short on time, so I couldn't catch every detail in your post, and I don't have time to search for other posts I've answered.  I'll make this really short and hope it helps.

    1. Must have online account for PS or xbox - PS plus or xbox live. 

    2.  Both players must log into console on their own accounts,.

    3.  Both players must have registered EA accounts (free).

    4.  Player 1 starts game and then activates split screen.

    5.  Player 2 presses options button.

    If all goes correctly, the game will reload in split screen with both accounts logged in.

    Let me know whether or not this helps.  Also, there are sometimes issues with console sub accounts having permissions set so they cannot play online, you can fix this in the console's permissions settings.

    I have a separate account for my son with a separate EA account. i have also set all permissions to allow everything on both accounts as far as i can tell and it still says i have an EA login error. i attached an image of the message. it's not helpful. can you log into 2 accounts before you make it a split screen? I thought the login at the start of the game is the xbox live thing? if not I haven't figured that out and maybe that could be something if i can figure out how to do it.

    OK, you're beyond my experience now, I've never seen that screen before.  I also have no experience with xbox.  It looks like you're doing everything right.  It sounds like time to deal with the help desk, good luck.

    p.s. I have, in the meantime, brought up this issue in a discussion forum where EA employees are active.  Perhaps we might be able to get you some help and settle the issue of the help desk referring questions to us, who are merely players trying to be helpful.  I hope in the future to be able to get more definitive help for those who clearly have technical issues.

    I want plants vs zombies garden warfare 2 on PC. But i have been wondering, can you have two accounts in the same game, or you need to buy another one. Because my little brother is getting this game and I want it too. But I don't want to play on my brother's account because its gonna be awkward if i want to play with my friends.
