Dear Development Team of Plants vs. Zombies International Version:
The following is an AI translation due to my limited English proficiency; some inaccuracies may exist.As a loyal Chinese player, I have had a lot of fun while playing the game. At the same time, I have also found some areas that can be optimized, and I hope to contribute my ideas to the further improvement of the game. I. Device and System Adaptation Size Adaptation for the Pad End With the popularization of full-screen Pads, it is recommended to carry out full-screen adaptation for the Pad end. Optimize the layout of the game interface, and provide high-field-of-view and low-field-of-view options for the Pad. Make full use of the display area of the full screen to make the game screen more full and beautiful. At the same time, enhance the convenience of operation, avoid current issues such as black borders or incomplete screen display, and bring a better visual and operational experience to Pad players. Multi-language Adaptation Currently, there are a large number of players from different countries and regions in the international version, especially a huge Chinese player group. To meet the needs of global players, it is recommended to add support for multiple languages, such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Hindi, Malay, etc. This can not only eliminate language barriers, enable players to better understand the game content and instructions, but also significantly enhance the game's attractiveness and competitiveness in the international market and promote the globalization development of the game. Suggestions on Promoting the Ecological Layout of the Whole Platform Currently, the Huawei HarmonyOS Next system has enormous market potential. It is recommended to prioritize the in-depth adaptation of products to the mobile and PC ends of this system. At the same time, a cross-platform cloud data interconnection system should be constructed to comprehensively cover mainstream operating systems and devices such as Apple (iOS, iPadOS, macOS, visionOS, tvOS), Huawei (HarmonyOS),Google (Android, Android TV), and Microsoft (Windows x86, Windows x64, Windows Arm). By achieving real-time synchronization of data such as game progress, saves, and personalized settings, the barriers to device switching can be eliminated, creating a seamless gaming experience for users, and further improving user retention rate and brand competitiveness. II. Game Content Expansion New Two-player Duel & Cooperation Mode A new two-player duel & cooperation mode is launched. Player A controls the plants, and Player B controls the zombies. You can refer to the relevant modes in the Plants vs. Zombies PS3 version and the Plants vs. Zombies Android TV version. This brand-new battle mode will bring players a completely different gaming experience, increase the interaction and competitiveness among players, enrich the gameplay and fun of the game, and further expand the game's audience. New characters added In the content iteration plan of Plants vs. Zombies 1, it is recommended to systematically integrate the ecological resources of the series' IP. Firstly, the exclusive versions in the Chinese region (such as the Journey to the West version, the Great Wall version, the Kingdom version, and the Community version) and the unique plant/zombie heroes and original characters in Plants vs. Zombies Heroes, Plants vs. Zombies 2, and Plants vs. Zombies 3 can be comprehensively incorporated into the game system. With their differentiated skill mechanisms and attribute settings, these characters can effectively expand the strategic dimensions, inject innovative strategic depth into the classic gameplay, and significantly enhance the fun of the game. Adjustment of In-level Buttons Adjust the "Menu" button within the level to a "Pause" icon. After pausing the level, change the "Pause" icon to a triangular "Resume" icon. Moreover, whether the level is paused or resumed, the "Menu" button should always be available. Add an "Accelerate" button within the level. Even when the level is paused, the "Accelerate" button should always remain available. III. Optimization of Plant and Zombie Mechanisms Dynamic effect of the Hypno-shroom's cap Change the Hypno-shroom's cap effect from a single texture to a dynamic one, making it more agile and realistic in the game. The dynamic cap effect can not only enhance the game's visual performance but also allow players to more intuitively feel the Hypno-shroom's function, enhancing the game's immersion. 【These features can refer to the International Version of Version 2】 Optimization of the bullet tracking of the Cattail After the Cattail eliminates a zombie, the remaining bullets should automatically attack the next target instead of flying out of the field. This can make full use of the Cattail's attack resources, improve its attack efficiency, make its performance in the game more outstanding, and also meet the players' expectations for efficient attacking plants. 【These features can refer to the Chinese Version of Version 2】 Optimization of the disappearance animation of the Blover When the Blover disappears, add animation effects of gradual transparency and slow rotation speed. This delicate animation performance can make the visual effects of the game more smooth and natural, enhance the players' visual experience, and make the disappearance process of the Blover in the game more aesthetic and ritual. 【These features can refer to the International Version of Version 2】 Function expansion of Cactus When the Cactus is close to zombies, it will transform into Spikeweed, launch spines with piercing effects, and grow taller to hit the balloons of Balloon Zombies. 【These features can refer to the International Version of Version 2】 Function expansion of the Torchwood When the Torchwood is eliminated or removed, it will trigger the effect of the Jalapeno. At the same time, it has high health points, and when zombies approach, it can attempt to attack zombies within a close-range 1x3 area. 【These features can refer to the International Version of Version 2】 Adjustment of the Mechanism of Potato Mines When the potato mines have not emerged from the ground, they will not be eaten by zombies. Instead, they will be ignored by the zombies, which avoids unreasonable losses for players when they set up defenses in the early stage. This makes the defensive strategies in the game more reasonable and diversified. Adjustment of Group Damage for Tangle Kelp The current single-target damage effect of Tangle Kelp has limited effectiveness against clustered zombies. It is recommended that when zombies approach, Tangle Kelp can simultaneously deal damage to multiple zombies within a 1-tile range. This can significantly enhance its practicality and tactical value in the game, providing players with more effective choices for water-based defenses. Garlic and Nut Wrap Adaptation The current usage of Garlic and Nut Wrap has certain limitations. It is recommended to make Garlic applicable to "Nut Wrap" to increase strategic combinations and fun in the game. Zombie Appearance Adjustment It is recommended to unify the head appearances of the Balloon Zombie, the Bungee Zombie, and the Dolphin Rider Zombie to be the same as that of the Common Zombie, making their visual effects more consistent. Enlarge the appearance of the balloon of the Balloon Zombie to keep the same size as that of the Balloon Zombie in the second generation. Change the appearance angle of the Bungee Zombie to be consistent with the appearance angle of the Common Zombie which faces left, while still retaining the feature of sticking out its tongue. When the Dolphin Rider Zombie appears, it is always in a state where it can be attacked. This includes, but is not limited to, the time period when the Dolphin Rider Zombie throws the dolphin onto the water surface, during which it can also always be attacked. Optimization of Behaviors After Eliminating Zombies Once the zombie's head is knocked off, its body should fall down immediately. This can not only reduce the waste of fired bullets, but also enable pitcher-type plants to attack the next target instead of hitting the zombie's body, which is beneficial to improving efficiency. After a zombie is eliminated by a Fire Peashooter's bullet, its body should turn into ashes instead of just having its head knocked off. Standardize the animation time period for each zombie that turns into ashes simultaneously, making the visual effects more coordinated and comfortable. IV. Adjustment of Music and Sound Effects Music adjustment Replace all the music theme songs with those outside the (In Game) series. For example, replace Loonboon(In - Game) with Loonboon, Grasswalk(In - Game) with Grasswalk, Crazy Dave(In - Game) with Crazy Dave(Intro Theme), etc. The new music series can bring players a brand new auditory experience, avoid players getting aesthetic fatigue from listening to the same music for a long time, create a more diverse and rich game atmosphere, and enhance the players' immersion in the game. V. Optimization of Game Operation and Functions Expansion and Classification of the Plant Slot Currently, at most 9 plant slots are far from enough for some players. It is recommended to open the function of purchasing more plant slots. At the same time, when selecting plants, classify the plant slots into two columns, namely the plant slots exclusive for white cards (10 slots) and the plant slots exclusive for purple cards (3 slots). In this way, plants of different qualities have their own independent slot areas without interfering with each other, making it more convenient and faster for players to select plants, effectively solving the problem of insufficient plant slots, and improving the strategy and operation experience of the game. Expansion of Gestures When Collecting Various Resources Collecting sunlight ☀️, diamonds 💎, gold coins and silver coins is not limited to using the tap gesture to complete the collection. It also supports the swipe gesture to complete the batch collection of resources. [This feature can refer to Plants vs. Zombies 2 and 3.] VI. Visual Effect Optimization Solve the Problem of Darkened Color When Shadows Overlap When the shadows of multiple zombies or plants overlap, the color of the shadows will be darkened, which affects the beauty and visual effect of the game screen. It is recommended to fix this problem so that the shadows maintain a normal color display when overlapping, making the game screen clearer and more natural, and presenting a better visual experience for players. Handling of Obstacles After Level Victory When the level is won, all obstacles, such as tombstones, arcade game machines, ice blocks, etc., should automatically break and disappear. This can make the game interface cleaner, highlight the players' sense of achievement after victory, and also make more clear preparations for the next game, improving the players' gaming experience and feelings. VII. Optimization of Ads and Benefits Support players to be permanently ad-free after watching 500 ads for free, and players can receive 1,000 coins each time they watch an ad. This benefit mechanism can not only provide players with a certain economic income and encourage players to watch ads, but also meet the players' need to get rid of ad interference, improve players' game satisfaction and loyalty, and at the same time bring more advertising revenue to the game operator, achieving a win-win situation. I sincerely hope that the development team can seriously consider the above suggestions. I believe that with your efforts, Plants vs. Zombies International Version will become more and more perfect and become a more classic and popular game masterpiece. Thank you for bringing us such a wonderful game, and I look forward to a brighter future for the game! VIII. Matters Needing Attention Do not add any in-app purchase items, but it is feasible to obtain rewards through advertisements. Do not add the element of chlorophyll. The original gameplay needs to be retained. Do not add elements related to plant classes, and the original gameplay should be preserved. Do not automatically play third-party advertisements without the user's permission, otherwise it will seriously damage the user experience. Please do not implement a policy that requires deducting stamina points before playing main storyline levels.

PLEASE FIX Battle For Neighborville on Nintendo Switch 2!!
I have been trying to play PvZ: Battle For Neighborville on my new Nintendo Switch 2 for the past 2-3 days and it CONSTANTLY keeps crashing!! When I load into the game, while in Giddy Park, my screen starts glitching and flickering super bad it is very bad to look at and hurts my eyes. When I try loading into an offline match of any mode the game crashes almost 100% of the time. It will close the app and my Nintendo Switch 2 will say, “This software needed to close due to an error.” Then when I go back in and try a different mode, it does the SAME THING. I don’t understand why we can’t just play the game. You guys are literally losing out on money if you don’t fix this. We need the game officially optimized for the Nintendo Switch 2, and while you’re at it, you could even update it to handle 60fps because the Switch 2 can now handle 60fps pretty smooth. Also I have heard from some other people that apparently Battle For Neighborville isn’t even AVAILABLE for purchase on the Switch 2 eShop. They locked the game so no one can buy it, hopefully that means they’re going to fix it? But I would still like someone from EA to get back to me and let me know what the situation is. PLEASE HELP! Thanks EDIT: After doing a bit more testing it’s actually worse than I thought, there were a few times where I went into the game and it would crash before I could even select a GAME MODE. Also, the few times I was able to play an entire match while the screen was flashing, as soon as the game ended, the game just crashed. Nothing I could do about it. This game DEFINITELY needs fixed. If you want to see a video or clip of these glitches happening I also saw a YouTube video from a YouTuber by the name of RiceDRW. Here is the link to that video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zl1xi2yGuxM
I can't open pvzgw2
ever since the anti cheat was added the game crashed for me like everyone else but unlike everyone else people said to fix the crashes you just need to delete one of the files in the game but unlike everyone else instead of the game opening it just gives me a different crash and despite how many times i reinstall the game or verify the files it just WON'T WORK
Paid for no ads
My son and I play plants vs zombies on my google pixel 6 and I paid 2.99 to remove the ads from the game. We are still getting ads, and they are really creepy ads too. I attached some images of the ads below. I tried restoring the purchase and nothing, the ads still play. I like listening to spotify while playing and every time an ad plays it stops the music, forcing me to quit the app to play the music again which often leads to another ad when opening the app again. Please help, if this can't be resolved I want my money refunded.
PvsZ deleted all my progress?
Literally logged into play from the last level I was at and it has taken me back to level 1-1. So annoying and devastated because it’s literally just a **bleep** take to spend so much time getting to a specific level and then to be taken back to level 1-1. Has anybody had this? I want to go back to the level I was on…Can't make in game help request tickets (PVZ Heroes)
I recently made 2 purchases on PVZ Heroes which I never received on the 29th May when servers were down and have tried to make contact with support multiple times, I get to the last stage and every time I'm told I need to make an "in game ticket" requesting help rather than using the EA help website. The problem is, using the in game "contact support" button takes me straight to the EA support website, therefore I am never able to receive my purchase as I'm stuck in a loop with support. What am I supposed to do, I've already tried a refund with apple which was denied and now I just want at the least to receive my purchases.Help I can't open gw2
