Things You'll Need
Instructions
Select "Playstation Network" from the main menu. Scroll down and select "Options."
Change match type to "Unranked." You are not allowed to invite your friends to ranked matches to prevent rank boosting, which is manipulation of the game by "friendly" players to boost individual stats. These players purposefully throw matches and play poorly to make another player look better.
Press the "O" button to return to the Xbox Live menu. Select "Enter the Lobby" and create a match. Choose the game type, game rules and other specifics and select "Private Match."
Use the "Invite Friends" capability to send an invitation to your friends to join your private match.
