Hello All - just a quick post to share that there seems to be a workaround in place, for the Seashooter Arena Bot issue:
The Bot’s score seems capped at 18 M, so if you can score higher than that, you can win & complete a win-streak.
I am getting matched with the 1 bot repeatedly, now (2nd bot has disappeared) but it’s plants load out has changed slightly (still impossible) and it’s score still jumps implausibly high early on - but it’s score stops at 18M - so it is just about possible to beat it & work towards the seed packets again…..
It’s down to 10 million a game now. And the avatar has changed. I can’t help feeling it’s controlled by EA. When it was 18000000 its score would increment 1000000 every 10 seconds. Now it’s every 18 seconds.
I've never thought tournament play was real time, just an algorithm selecting real player’s scores based on your scores, gap between matches, and EPs, slowly ratcheting them up as you progress a streak. Now I’m starting to think the opponents score part is fake too, that the algorithm broke and ‘player who shall not be named’ is the temporary fix. That’s my baseless speculation for the day.
Over the years of playing it I have noticed that it seems rather rigged. Despite taking out many zombies I have seen my score not climb during last few seconds to lose. Usually when I am about to get the gold. Also seen rapid jump in opponent score too. Then see what they had for plants and it would not make sense.
