PS4 playing with friends=servers down?

[babythug23]

I can play quick matches fine. But can never play vs a friend I always get servers are down. Is it always going to be like this?

So here is what i have figured out. If you want to play with a friend it comes down to the rosters you both have. I have used the "Rudy Gay" rule in order to make this easy. Make sure you and your friends are on the same roster. Check to see if Rudy Gay is on the Kings or Raptors. For some reason 2k will let people load up on different rosters even though you both connect to the servers.

If you do not have the same rosters, You have to restart your game over and over again until it picks up the correct roster.

Now after you have finally gotten the correct rosters... You can attempt "Play with Friends"

If you can still not connect then Google 2k14 Connection troubleshooting.

They will have you do some techy stuff with your NAT settings and your Router settings.

Probably not going to do anything but not gonna hurt.

And have fun with all that.

For me the best workaround for the moment is to search quickmatch team up at the same time.

Then you must hope that you get in the same game. This is easier than you think. Then you must hope that the game doesn't freeze on the "Please wait while we setup your match" Synchronizing screen.

All of this and there is still a good chance the game will lagout.

But i have played some team up games with friends using these methods.

It shouldn't have to come to this but it did.
