@ellavrrr It's a hacker. Don't worry about it...this can happen occasionally. If you feel like reporting them post it on the PvZ2 subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/PlantsVSZombies/
You should include info about when the game was approximately played (timezone) and the league you are in.

@ellavrrr In theory it is possible to have the plants at max level but only by using exploits. However, in this case it is definitely a hacker. As @FantastiXxPVZ pointed out there are some filters that sort out 'high scoring' replays. This replay is not supposed to be in the replay pool...so I'm sure it's a hacker. You usually won't get an opponent who scores more than 20M even though it is easily possible to score 40M+ with Turkey-Pult.
- 5 years ago@PowerToss Why would somebody hack the replay algorithm ? Just to show that he can ? Because of the previous problems of EA with this game it seems to be just a problem on their side.

@ellavrrr No idea. My best guess is that this person didn't really hack the replay algorithm but downloaded a mod from youtube to give him/her all the plants at max level. Those mods manipulate the data files in a way that could cause this replay to make it onto the sever.
We don't really know how the anti-cheat system works but a community manager told us that players who are evaluated to be cheaters will be removed from the general Arena player group and placed in their own separate group with other cheaters. Once removed, they will not show up on your leaderboards and their replays will be screened out of the general population altogether. These players will only be matched with other cheater.
I'm not sure if that this is true but in case it is, there is a good chance that the anti-cheat system will detect the replay and move this player to the 'cheaters league'.
