Garden Ops is hosted by players.

Multiplayer (Gardens vs Graveyards) is hosted by servers.

GardenOps is hit or miss.

If you can't join any at all. Perhaps you need to forward the ports or turn on uPnP on the router.

Perhaps try hosting your own GardenOps matches.

  You need a Game Adviser's attention at EA Help Center to deal with that litany, not this community:

    Choosing "Solved" may of been a mistake on my part for this thread, sure Hosting my own games works but majority of the time I'm not able to join other peoples garden ops games in progress, even after doing the port forwarding instructions on my router, they say its possibly a problem on the Host players side but that wouldn't explain why I always see other people in the session playing.
