I'd like to bump this as it's been about a week now with no replies. I still haven't found a stable way to make this work for both consoles, and I haven't gotten any direction from EA.
I've heard of this problem with many different multiplayer games. Have you also checked the official Playstation forums as Sony may have an official recommendation on how to do this since it's their hardware?
We've noticed a similar issue in Black Ops III, but no, I haven't found a working solution in the PlayStation forums either (incidentally, I have another thread going there with no responses...).
https://community.us.playstation.com/t5/PlayStation-Network-Support/MULTIPLE-PLAYSTATION-4-s-ONE-NETWORK-NEEDS-FIXED-ASAP-Confirmed/td-p/44774137 - suggests that there are certain port openings one should watch for in their UPnP configuration. With those openings, one should basically reset the UPnP server on their router and then manually forward the ports to the PS4's. I tried that and the PS4's still opened ports through UPnP that weren't the ones I was forwarding.
https://community.us.playstation.com/t5/Consoles-Peripherals/Two-PS4-s-on-the-the-same-network-cause-NAT-incompatibility-with/td-p/45132971 - suggests that static IP's should work, or failing that, put one PS4 in the router's DMZ. Neither approach has worked for me.

In other news - the second PS4 in the apartment broke down this weekend. Appears to be the PSU. Going to manually replace it this weekend, but until then the only real problem now is sharing the one remaining PS4 lol

I'm having the same issue with my 360s and Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare! Both of my 360s are wired to the same router. The response to my thread sent me here. I'll try one on wireless and one wired and see if that helps. Will report back if it solves the issue.
