There are 2 sides to EA's streak breaking strategy. Yes they come up with ridiculous plant combinations for the computer generated opponents, and they assign high scores to them, but they also depress real player's scores.
I've been plotting my scores and I average 704,200 - not counting the breaker games. One out of 6 games, no matter how well I play, even if I make no mistakes in plant placement or whatever, I end up with a ridiculously low score below 480,000 - that is 22 standard deviations from the mean.
The title of this thread is right on - EA form of cheating.
What amazes me is that many players think its OK for EA to do this because eventually a players plants level up and they get past this phase.
Why would players think that they "get past" this?
It still shows up at any level of play !! Juts be sure to have enough GEMs available to pay the GEM tax.
I agree that there is score suppression as well as creating final scores...
