Re: Seeing Cheaters/Hackers in PvZ 2 - Arena (Sea-Shooter)

The same problem here, I think this might be a bot

Found another account [REMOVED] with the same setup. I also noticed they jumped from 16 million to 21 million in the last 3 seconds

I have the same problem, really low level plant like sunshroom in lv1 and peashooter lv4 managed to score 21M against all of my gold level threepeater, torchwood, and solar sage. That is not possible

Seems like we have a cheating problems

It is unplayable.  It has gotten worse the second day.  Almost every battle is a loss against a weak build out.  

Something to keep in mind tho, it's probably "petunia", and same thing for other suspicious users y'all have posted here. It's because of a display bug that I've been noticing for many months now that the last character from my opponents' names is missing. I mean, either that or the overwhelming majority of users/bots like to use truncated nicknames. 🙂

Can confirm, I've played several battles, all of them were against bots. It shuffles between those 3 decks seen in the screenshots posted above, and nicknames are random. Thus it's now literally impossible to complete a streak of 7, the most I could do is 4. And what's also weird is there is no plant food the entire round even tho there are those power tiles lying around. Are they supposed to encourage folks to buy Power Lily or something?

OMG, it's adaptive. It's ADAPTIVE?!? Seems like it's not a bug, but a "feature". You only play with bots, always. And the algorithm is sorta adaptive. For example, starting at zero streaks I scored 19M but was flabbergasted to see the opponent scored 15M. Then right after that win - so at one streak - I chose different plants and played rather lousy, scored 290k but the opponent lo and behold scored only 390k. Did test this some more just to be sure but the conclusion is:
--> Arena is not PvP anymore <--
I don't feel any incentive to continue playing Arena except for the free plays and that's about it, and judging by the scores of the other 14 opponents I'm ranked against, they don't feel like playing either. Who knows, maybe they're bots too...?
What is up with that, EA?

I think devs should give some compensation like several mints/gem/coin/gauntlet, we lost some gauntlet cuz of this

Yep, I can confirm the same thing. It's like they're cheating us out of the final push to level up the new plant. I'm lucky if I can win one round but certainly not 2 in a row. I hope EA are reading this!!!

+1. I also lost to similar decks. It's impossible to get 23m with such a deck.

Bro chill the freak out i aint reaching that score and its only been 30 sec into the game

I just lost to [REMOVED] who had 630,000,000 in the first the few seconds of the battle so I surrendered right away. No chance of winning 😂. They did not even have the required plant

I’m having the same problem. I’ve went up against [REMOVED] twice and both times they score over 535 million points. The last time over 760 million points. I’m trying to figure out how to report it.
