Cannot get the multiplayer to connect...EA is Garbage!

Same here, I cant even create a match in Garden Ops mode. It just goes black screen with a fool sunflower circling 4ever. EA is a virus for video game industry.

I have the same problem but may I ask if you have downloaded the preview for the Xbox One Update? I feel like that is causing it. Everyone who is playing to me have not downloaded the update.

I downloaded the update and was fine until today. All of a sudden I can't connect to EA servers. I assumed it was because its Friday and they can't handle the strain of more users. What crap!

I have the preview but I've been able to play.  I might have a hard time initially connecting 20% of time, but once on the servers it seems fine.

This happened to me a few times.  Exit to the home screen, quit, and restart it.  I think it just loses itself and it gets stuck in a loop.

EA servers are pretty terrible.  It's the only Achilles heel in an otherwise outstanding game.

Thanks Action Man. That worked for me last night

I haven't been able to connect to Garden Ops now for a few days, I want to play the game mode but can't.

I can connect to EA and host a game, but nobody has been able to join for some reason.  It sits there for 10 minutes. I just give up and play solo.  I don't mind hosting if anyone wants to join.  I get about 116 mb download and 20 mb upload.  I'm still new to the game, but it would be a lot more fun if people could join.

EA bought out the PvZ license and PopCap. That's how they made this game, Micro Transactions, and FORCED users to make a Stea- uhh I mean Origin account JUST to connect to EA servers and wish you luck. They also made "Pockets Vs. Cash: It's about Micro Transactions". EA is truly dispicable. Not that I don't enjoy their content, it's just that I hate how they force you into things you don't want, like one of those new Virus-Filled installers, AND MAKE YOU PAY FOR IT. They haven't even patched a glitch that existed from the LAUNCH of the game! (The one I made a post on)
