Even the Steam description this 2KSports title quotes 'Multiplayer' and 'Coop' as actual features, it does not support any private lobbies or private invitations to your friends. Please watch this video before you purchase the game.
Despite me contacting 2KSports and flagging up the issue, they seem to show no intention to address it at any point, so I thought all I can do is warn you guys, before you buy it! I hope this helps!
