EA new mega bot form of cheating
I haven’t posted in a while as EA has worked hard to mask the bots that they allocate to set games to ensure we don’t maintain streaks without coughing up gems this time they have gone way too hard ...

You're showing the exact same screen shot over and over. All three pics are the same screen shot.
Also, IMO, EA doesn't have bots. I don't think anyone ever plays against a computer. IMO, EA creates a player name, some sort of semi-random selection of plants, and then they assign a score which 9 times out of 10 is higher than whatever score you achieved. The distinction may be lost on some people, so whatever...
How go you know this is not a cheating human ?
Apologies and thanks for pointing out the image thing, the archaic way of uploading images to this site these days doesn’t allow for preview as it used to. Have sorted
i use the word ‘bot’ to mean an EA manufactured account. We all know this happens and it is designed to require us to pay gems to extend a streak. Has been happening since Battlez was launched. In general EA has improved their masking of this manipulation by manufacturing accounts with maxed out plants and associated scores that can’t be beaten.
my point is that loading up manipulated accounts with unrealistically maxed out Mastery levels like these, they are demonstrating a level of arrogance and stupidity that goes beyond that of the past.
and if they aren’t EA manipulated accounts, they should be doing something about eradicating them from the game as email addresses are now linked, very easy to clean out manipulated accounts
5 plants at 200...
that is a lot of button-pushing 😮
Or a lot of MIPS 🤔
I was thinking that too: That I'm being pitted against super profiles every 4-5 games. That was what I felt when I was climbing up the league. But after experiencing a glitch after installing the update (see my post here), I am back to the soil league.
My current streak is around 60 (with zero loss) and I have not encountered a "mega bot" so far. I have faced jade-league-level profiles but I beat them easily (my max is 3.5M in week 35 battlez but I average at around 2.8M). Maybe because I'm in soil league (???)... I don't know. But I am still waiting for a "mega bot" to give my first loss in soil league.
With regards to those M200 class plants, I have a M145 shadow peashooter. And because of the tons of money I got from the glitch I encountered, I was easily able to do that upgrade within 24 hours of updating PVZ 2. I could have easily gotten the M200 if I wasn't busy during the shadow peashooter tourney. What I am saying is that the seed packets would have been accumulating and stored within our profiles and hidden from our view way before the updated was live.
This is just my point of view but I do agree with you at some point. Please don't get mad at me... I am not defending EA or anything... Just saying...
How long have you been in soil league? I would think a player with M100+ plants would be out of the soil league in 1 week right?
Thanks for posting. I was wondering about this in my Battles play. Streaking, I occasionally come across these pretty much undefeatable opponents with these M level numbers.
The latest iterations of the bots don't use M (mastery) levels. If you encounter these, they are human players.
I feel you. I know how pesky humans are. 🤣

WRONG!
Haemophilus_EA, the EA representative on Reddit, has said that Bots are used during the first few hours of any tournament to assist with getting recordings for use later on.
She has also said that Bots will also be used in the event of any player having a particularly slow internet connection that makes syncing with a real player, or one of their recordings, impossible.
As for the level 200 Mastery after such a short time - that has to be down to dumb hackers who think everyone else is as dumb as them and won't notice.
