Re: Battlez - Opponent crazy strong but shown as all Level 1 Plants

@echus14

My previous post was removed by the system, maybe it is the screen shoot I attached so I post again this time in text only.

Not sure what you classed as big score, for me, anything over 100k is a big score when entering the battlez using low level plants.

Take this week's (electric currant) tournament for instant, I have once managed to get over 500k using all level1 plants, so if it were not something really ridiculous, it might not be as sinister as one thinks.

    Big score as in more than 700,000 points. No way a player should be able to get that with all Level 1 plants, when I am scoring less with level 6-9 plants (even after accounting for strategy).

    ok, for this week's tournament, the highest score I managed to get with all level 1 non-premium plants is 565k, I am not sure how much more if one uses Caulipower and Cold Snapdragon and Explode-o-nut combo (I have no such plants)

    May be that would make it over the 700k limit.

    True, but these were all non-premium (cash) plants. On top of that, there were times where the opponent did not even have a sun-producing plant which I find incredulous for this week's set up (no big showers of free sun).

    I am not playing many battles for this week, but out of the approximately 10 battlez, I've had 3 or 4 where players with level 1 plants scored ~1.8 million with no sun producing plants.  The normal combo that I see is something like blueberry (default), winter melon, jurassic potato mine, cherry bomb, chili pepper and lightning reed.  With only 750 to start and no sun producing plants, something fishy is going on.

    I can get a similar score, but I have level 6 plants and definitely need sun producing plants.

    I have seen some 'talented' players can have all plants with 0 sun cost. They can just fill the battle ground up with whatever attacking plants they want before the game start and have no worries about the sun during battles. That is why they can achieve high score with no sun producing plants.

    Wow. You can get 1.8 million! I don't even smell that number ... ☹️

    Wake up all. These are EA bots. There are not enough real players so they fill leagues with bots. My protest is that the outcomes for these are pre-determined as there is NO way it is possible to make the scores they are making with NO sun and/or L1 plants. There is a whole thread on this with many screenshots. They are not cheating players, they are EA bots and how they are being implemented is tantamount to fraud.

    Which thread ? 😞
    EA CM deleted it but we still have no feedbacks from EA on that issue...

    I guess the CM don't have the answers on that, so no need to blame them. But it would be nice to know that EA took into account that problem.

    The lack of transparency and communication makes it even more suspicious :/

    No action except my account received a warning saying I was shaming users and accusing them of cheating.

    i have not once done that, from the beginning I have been clear that these were EA bots and was requesting an explanation

    still don’t have one and they have deleted all from here

    i still have all of my evidence, literally hundreds of screenshots and am pursuing multiple consumer affairs complaints channels.

    @debeee65

    I have 100% sympathy with you. I also firmly believe that you are correct in everything you say.

    I, too, have suffered some defeats against 'Players' that achieve impossibly high scores when taking into account their plant selections. Not only were the plants at very low levels, but the combinations used were highly questionable. Anyone with any kind of experience with P vs Z 2 would know that such combinations simply DO NOT WORK, and most certainly when the load out does not include any sun giving capability.

    Having said this, I still feel I have to say that, sadly, you seem to be flogging a dead horse.

    Attempting to obtain an acceptable explanation is like getting hell to freeze over.

    This is because it would require the issuing of a public declaration. The problem with any such declaration being made in public is that history has proved time and again that they can often have a nasty habit of biting the issuer on the butt. (This is why you will never get a straight 'Yes' or 'No' from a politician.) 

    You will NEVER extract any admission of the use of Bots, regardless of the reasons behind their deployment. Anything that amounts to serial manipulation of Battlez matches would be seen as 'suspect', especially when it seems there are numerous instances where it has been used to the detriment of human players.

    Anyone/everyone can see that your posts and images are not being removed for the reason that has been given to you - For naming and shaming users. They are being removed because you're highlighting something that causes acute embarrassment in certain quarters.

    What those removing your posts don't seem to grasp is this - by doing so they only add credence to your accusations.
