I found some temporary fix to the issue for me on the xbox 360. When you start the game, create a party chat and just play from there. I used the same technique on other games such as Titanfall and CoD and it seemed to work out well whenever i wasn't able to connect to their servers. I am not sure if the same can apply to all other platforms and the idea varies on some cases where it works for a few hours, works but find lag spikes consistently, or doesn't even work at all.
