Has anyone else experienced increased numbers of the Rodeo Legend Bulls over the past day or so?
Although I wasn't counting early on in this week's tournament, I would estimate that I was getting somewhere between 6 and 8 of them per match. I would also reach the end of the matches with most of the plants in the first four columns still pretty much intact.
In the past 36 hours I've been getting WAY more of the bulls. The first minute of the matches seem much the same, with maybe 5 bulls appearing, but towards the end things seem to go crazy. I recorded one match and no less than 16 bulls entered the arena. I've even had FIVE bulls come out simultaneously, with one in each row. When they charge they rampage across the arena and any rows without mines get decimated.
They also take out a high percentage of the plants that I have used the Tile Turnip on and that makes my final assault at around the 10 seconds remaining mark much less effective than it would otherwise be.
Although I've still been able to hang on and secure victories, I've often been left with only 8 to 10 plants remaining when the bell sounds.

Something else I've been noticing with increasing regularity is that my first couple of matches in any session will get good scores. The third match scores not so well. The fourth match often scores pretty badly and I know that if I risk a fifth consecutive match I will get a c-r-a-p score that could result in a loss.
I therefore only play a maximum of four consecutive matches. I then go back to the Adventure mode and play a match. This requires me to alter my plant selections. Once the adventure match is finished, I return to Battlez. Because I played using a completely different plant load-out, when I re-enter the Battlez mode and hit [Play] I still have the plants used in the adventure match as my current load-out.
I then have to re-select my Battlez load-out. Doing this allows me to return to getting better scores for the first few matches before the rot sets in again.
This does not ALWAYS work out. If the first match after returning gets a low score, I will exit PvsZ and power down my tablet and not return for a least 30 minutes.
When I eventually return, I often find I go back to good scores again for matches 1 and 2, sometimes 3, but the scores then start to deteriorate.
And so the cycle starts over again.
Anyone else getting this?
