Nice peace of footage Bro, looking at their rank, I think cheating is a bit harsh, looks like a newbie, possibly someone quite young. Just hope they learn this is a team based game......eventually.... without inflicting too much pain on the rest of us.
Hey @asukojo,
We appreciate the intention here however it is against our rules to report players in a public space like this, it's considered naming & shaming. In all honesty I took a look at the footage myself, I have to agree with the other users here, I know it can be frustrating to have players like this in your games but the public for playing PvZ GW 2 can be quite young too.
At the end of the day if you feel they are cheating you can follow this steps to report them:

It's not a newbie (small innocent kid) who doesn't know how to play, then simply jumping by pressing a button continuously for hours. Every time it re-spawn, it jumping again and again. (1 jump/sec * 3600 sec = 3600 pressing/hour).
It's a script/program that purposely written for that by adult. I thought every script that used to gain unfair advantage (gain coins by doing nothing) is not allowed.
so are you telling me this's allowed ?

How does one write and execute scripts for console controllers? This is a sincere question, I have no knowledge whatsoever on this topic and perhaps you do.
I'm still a bit skeptical, albeit entirely sympathetic to your annoyance at having an AFK teammate taking up a spot in your game. Unless your scripting theory is correct, I see it as no different than the idiot who spends half the game shooting at walls and wandering lost on the map.
Because I cannot play at the moment due to my wrist still being under attack from gout, I've been running empty games of suburbination to gather coins for Rux. Do you consider that to be cheating? I don't believe that coins represent an "unfair advantage." No one can use them to influence the outcome of a game in any way.

Hey @asukojo,
I understand you can be frustrated however it is against the AHQ rules to report players in this manner:
Bully. Online bullying is against the rules. Bullying is a one-stop-shop to getting banned from the forums. Your gaming account will also be reviewed. Bullying can include:
- Naming and shaming
We've all played our fair share of PvZ Garden Warefares here, we aren't not saying that you can't recognize someone taking advantage of the system. What we are trying to say that it difficult to differentiate between a player that doesn't know what he is doing and is just jumping up and down in one spot or someone who is doing it on purpose via a script.
@pandareno1999, sadly it is possible on console but it requires a lot of time & effort and there is anti cheat software on the console itself and built into many games to stop this. Speaking of the gaming world in general, honestly it is extremely rare to come across farmers & cheaters on console compared to PC where it easier to set up these programs.
Thanks,Roger.
