Re: Seeing Cheaters/Hackers in PvZ 2 - Arena (Sea-Shooter)

Hi guys!  The last 2 times I competed in the arena, my opponent had the same plants picked both times, and opted out of the required plant for this season, which is not possible to do.  Their score was fixed at 780,000,000, an impossible score, straight from the beginning of the level.  This was even after I had lost and I was reset back to the 1st tier of the arena (the easiest tier).   Has anyone else seen this glitch?

    Yes, I came here to post the same thing. This opponent’s name is [REMOVED] and his plants against me were: Level 1 Hammeruit, Znake Lily, Devour Bloom (which isn’t even available yet), and Reinforcemint and Level 3 Blover (not allowed in Arena) and Chilly Pepper. As you point out, [REMOVED] is not using the locked plants either. The game is rigged right now and no fun. What’s the point in playing?

    Same thing, it keeps selecting [REMOVED] as opponent. I don’t see a way to get my credits restored from wasting them on this.

    I noticed it way before the game ended, and got a during and after screenshot.  Due to the zeitgeist my first thought was “they’ve added AI”

    Same problem. Opponent gets 780,000,000 with 20 secs and then just stays there.

    Same thing just happened to me. I went to the help site to report it but since they have changed their site I no longer have an option to submit a new case. I can only view my old ones

    I came here to see if anyone had experienced the same thing. Moreover, there have been several times when I was defeated by an opponent using level 1 peashooter and other low level plants.

    I’ve been playing arena 5 times today I keep getting wrecked by random players (probably bots) who score way more points than they should have with plants that aren’t locked.
