Future gameplay ideas (please read)
HELLO! I'm @FelipeGames2000 and I want to give some ideas for future updates.
Boss Hunts - Boss Hunts can function just like in the Single-player missions, but with more traps (like fake brainz, bananas or something), more bosse (like Gargoatuar but with more attacks) and awesome rewards (like Healing Flower pots and Hypno-Shrooms if you defeat Royal Hypno-Flower). This game mode requires compleating the story mode, just like Infinity and boss traps can be found in Extraordinary Packs or better. Already confirmed that it will be added
New classes Idea - New classes ideas:
Magma/Volcano Brainz - Super Brainz's fire variant. Funny fact: "He needs to chill out" Rarity: Rare
Dark/Shadow Rose - Rose's variant with splash damage, improved zoom or a better homing. She could also transform zombies into crows instead of goats. Funny fact: "Dark/Shadow Rose hate everyone, including Dave. Then why is she helping him? Well... she loves tacos too, and since the zombies destroyed the Taco Restaurant...". Rarity: Super-Rare.
Here are some arts for her:

http://omegakaijuscorpiobat.deviantart.com/art/Sorceress-Rose-Variant-552880845?q=sort%3Atime%20gallery%3AOmegaKaijuScorpioBat&qo=93 owned by OmegaKaijuScorpioBat
Zombia - Foot Soldier's variant, can run faster and (optionally) revives zombies like a Scientist, but less health. She is also a female zombie. Funny fact: "Zombia is the first female zombie who joined the Zomboss evil army. She and her husband, Foot-Soldier, are always the best couples in Valenbrains parties. But one thing Soldier doesn't know about her, is that Zombia cheated on him a lot of times by dating Deadbeard and even Kernel Corn. But she's not doing this stuff anymore... or is she... nope. She's ok with Foot Soldier, as far as we know..." Rarity: Special
Idea by OmegaKaijuScorpioBat. Official art also made by him:
http://omegakaijuscorpiobat.deviantart.com/art/Foot-Soldier-Zombia-Old-608405781
Mutant Citron - Citron's toxic variant. Funny fact: "Fighting toxic zombies alone may not be a good idea" His toxic variant was already added.
Napalm Pea - Peashooter's variant. A Fire Pea with more damage, but with less ammo. He could also have a vanquishing bar. Funny fact: "(insert fire pun here)" Rarity: Legendary
That's all new variants ideas I've had. Now, for the (possible) BEST feature to add: The boss mode!
Boss Mode could be like in the first game, but with new options: Playable bosses (duh)! (only one per team)
If you press the Boss Mode buttom, you can chose to select any boss from the game if you want. I was thinking how cool could be to play as a Mecha-Gargantuar in Moon Base for example, and I had this crazy idea! I also saw a interesting fact that Disco Zombie was going to be a playable class for the zombies, but this idea was scrapped for some reason. Then why not make playable bosses? You can also chose wich boss you would like to play. Even a nerfed version of the infinity Robots!
Small new bosses ideas:
Rose Queen - Just like regular Rose, but with more health, more damage, a crown and can summon magical golens to protect her.
Chompzilla - Same as the Chompzilla from PvZH
Night Cap - Same as the Night Cap from PvZH
Knight Zombie - http://plantsvszombies.wikia.com/wiki/Cavalry_Zombie I hope that explain everything from him
Thanks. FelipeGames2000.
EDIT: So, It's been some time and I guess no EA manager read this yet. And I had more ideas, so I'm gonna say tell you them. I also found some missing texts and some spelling mistakes on this page. I will fix everything and tell my new ideas. I also added the rarity of the characters.
Variants ideas:
NOTE!: All those arts and variants ideas were made by Ask-PrinceOfTech. Read his arts description for more information.

GEEEET DUNKED ON (#hadtobesaid)
Fire/Volcano Citron: Citron's fire variant - Ask-PrinceOfTech couldn't think on a description... yet. Rarity: Rare
I was thinking on add my Magma Brainz on the game, but he already made a new Fire Brainz:
I have many other things to say, but I'm running out of time right now. I'll be back tomorrow.
EDIT 2: So... I'm back earlier. And I forgot to post something important.
Sparky Imp: Imp's eletric variant - Stickerbook desc: "The Electrifying Imp With a Need For Speed. With His Power Piercers He's Almost Unstoppable...Almost.."
(Z-Mech is a Humongous Floating Mechanical Cloud. His Weapon is a Mid Ranged, Effective Spreading, Electric Beam).

Z-Mech Abilities
---
Bad Weather: The Mech "Leaps" Into The Air Floating Above All Plants. Press The Trigger Button To Rain Down Strong Electric Strikes.
Cumulus Chaos: The Mech Starts To Produce Sparks of Electricity Around Itself and Becomes Almost Invincible. Any Plant Dumb Enough To Get Close Will Get Electrified To Death.
Rarity: Super-Rare
Ok. Now, back to ideas!
New abillities:
Citron:
Mine Peach - replaces E.M. Peach - Works like Proximity Sonic Mine
Energy/Iron Shield - replaces Peel Shield - A Peel Shield with more health, but automatically turns off earlier
Rose:
Summon Golen - replaces Goatfy - Works just like the Queen Rose boss ability to summon magical golens (idea above)
Banish - replaces Time Snare - Target takes 30-50 damage. If he dies, he will be banished (similar to Cozmic Brainz).
Arcane Explosion - replaces Arcane Enigma - Rose will cause a magic explosion around her that cause 60-100 damage
Final/Last Sacrifice - replaces Arcane Enigma - Similar to Arcane Explosion, but with no cooldown and cause 500 damage. However, it can only be used at 50% health remeaning (or 25% if you want) and will instantly kill herself (Rose and the zombies killed by this attack will be unrevivable)
Kernel Corn:
Call Butterhawk - replaces... well... you decide - Kernel Corn will call his elite fighter plane Butterhawk. It is optional if you control it or if you only call him to make him do a deadly corn barrage. It can also be a boss mode character
Corn Cob - replaces Butter Barrage - http://plantsvszombies.wikia.com/wiki/Corn_cob I hope that explain
Chomper:
Undergrounded (couldn't think on a better name) - replaces Burrow - Chomper burrows underground, however, he will unable to move. There will be no stamina bar (however, case this ability become OP, adds a stamina bar that will take 15 seconds to finish). It is mainly supposed to work like a trap, but you can use it to hide underground and regenerate health. I couldn't think on a cooldown to any of the abilities, but in this case: takes 20 to recharge if you ate a zombie or if the stamina bar is depleted. Takes 10 seconds if you normaly gets out of the ground.
Thats all that I can think for now. I hope you all enjoyed my ideas and remember to always check and see new updates to this page! And don't forget to always reply on my awesome message (I am even feeling like I'm a PopCap manager right now)! Thanks!
EDIT 3: I'm back!
Moar abilities:
O'l pirate Captain Deadbeard:
Summon Pirates - replaces Barrel Blast - Deadbeard summons 3-10 Pirate zombies (Completely random. The weaker the minions are, the more they will spawn)
Super Brainz:
Flight Power - replaces Heroic Kick - enables Super Brainz to fly like a drone, however, he cannot attack
Imp:
Bomb - replaces Gravity Grenade - KA-BOOM
Engineer:
Rocket Drone - replaces Big Bolt Blaster - enables you to use the Rocket Drone from the first game
Bigger Bolt Blaster - replaces Big Bolt Blaster - same as BBB, but with more damage and less ammo
Now, there was a "characters balancing list", but it was removed. I've made a new page of the rebalancing features with more things
Link: http://answers.ea.com/t5/General-Discussion/Characters-balancing-features/m-p/5437417#U5437417
Still updating this, but I will add many more things later.
EDIT 4: People is probably ignoring me right now, but I don't want to stop with my ideas yet.
New XP and upgrades mechanic:
When you promote your character to Master, instead of the same 20.000 coins, you could get either:
A. Get 50.000 coins or more instead
B. Get a legendary item
C. Enables you to equip all the upgrades (or maybe just add 2 more slots, with a total of 5 upgrade slots, in case of all of them being overpowered)
D. Increase the power from the upgrade in the 1st slot (or all of them)
E. Allows the ability mach the variant (example: Pea Gatling as a Fire Peashooter will ignite the enemy). The main class ability can either recharge faster or recieve more ammo.
F. Adds a special ability to the character (like, instead of adding Napalm Pea, adds him a legendary vanquishing bar)
I need you to reply and tell me which one of those XP mechanic is the best. I would choose D or E.
I have a friend called @zerotwodejuju that gave me an awesome idea to add here.
ROULETTES!!!
They are what you're probabably thinking. But they can give you items that you can't unlock on normal stickers, they have free and paid spins and there's 6 kinds of roulettes:
Common/Normal roulette: Cost 5k of coins or 1 Star. Available for free each 10 minutes
Uncommon roulette: Cost 10k of coins, 10 Stars or 1 Rainbow Star. Available for free each 30 minutes
Rare roulette: Cost 30k of coins, 15 Stars or 3 Rainbow Stars. Available for free each 1 hour
Premium roulette: Cost 50k of coins, 20 Stars or 5 Rainbow Stars. Available for free each 24 hours
Legendary roulette: Cost 500k of coins, 200 Stars or 50 Rainbow Stars. Available for free when you promote a character to master (only if the option B above wins, if not, only on certain events)
Special roulette: Cost 100k of coins, 30 - 100 Stars or 10 - 50 Rainbow Stars. Available for free each 24 hours when there is an event.
Prizes: The items can either be boss traps (idea above) or the normal stuff said moments ago.
Common roulette: Just normal spawning teammates. Rare chance to give a boss trap
Uncommon roulette: Can either give a boss trap, accessories or spawnable teammates.
Rare roulette: Can either give you better boss traps, better accessories or more spawnable teammates. Rare chance to give a character sticker.
Premium roulette: Can either give you even better boss traps, even better accessories, even more spawnable teammates or a character sticker. Super-Rare chance of giving a Leg. Sticker
Legendary roulette: No matter what happens, you will always get a legendary item (you will get tons and tons of boss traps or spawning teammates if you already have all legendary items)
Special roulettes: Can give you items related to the event.
That's all. Maybe I can have more updates for this post in the future, but I've told everything I could think of. Thanks. Bye Bye!
FINAL EDIT: So many things happened to me, and I don't have any more ideas for the game. This may be my final update to the post, however, I may be wrong and start posting BONUS EDITS. I hope my imagination never stop working so I can keep uploading this.
Add more remixed musics from the first game (Braniac Maniac for example)
Idea by @00chico34
Add the Super Boss wave theme on Super Boss wave battle
Last class idea:
USSR Soldier - Foot Soldier variant - A USSR war zombie. Primary weapon: ZomBEER - Shots a vodka like liquid that creates a drunk effect on plants (like a Hypno-Shroom)
Idea by @ScreenhogRSnail
Diner Lady - Engineer variant - A female (and fat) zombie. Primary weapon: Sloppy Joe Cannon - Extremely low damage and 1 ammo clip, however, has the same effect as the Chomper goop.
Idea by @thackest2k
Last abilities idea:
Mesmeric Beam - exclusive to Hypno-Flower - In Replacement For The "Heal Beam" Ability. Whatever Enemie The Beam Gets Hooked To, It's Screen Gets Blurry and Hard To See
Lazer Lock - exclusive to RoboCob - In Replacement For The "Shuck Shot" Ability. He Shoots a Humongous Lazer That Goes Straight Down Any Direction and Can Vanquish More Than One Enemie.
And one last thing: In case the option E (above) wins, here is a concept for the Captain Cannon Parrot Pal:

EA and Popcap
If you are reading this, you should know that I have many other things to say, but I cannot describe with comments.
BONUS EDIT: So... I've had small new ideas these days. I also changed the Balancing feature to buff or nerf some characters since in Trouble in Zombopolis part 2 screwed up some things.
Flag of Power - Difficulty:
Enables the FoP have Easy, Normal, Hard and CRAZY mode.
Easy
In this difficulty, you only get 0,50% of coins and 0,25 of XP.
In this mode, Plants and Zombies heroes (classes) will appear less often. No bosses can be spawned
Normal
In this difficulty, you can get coins normaly, but only 0,50% of XP
Weeds/Browncoats Attack! can spawn Flag Weeds/Zombies and Shielded Weeds/Zombies.
The rest can be how it is right now.
Hard
In this difficulty, you can get 1,50% of coins, but only 0,75% of XP
Armored enemies can now spawn in any wave
Flags and Healing Weeds/Zombies can spawn instead of their weak counterpart on heroes waves. Different variants of the champions can spawn
CRAZY
In this difficulty, you get 2X more coins and you will get XP normaly. This mode will be literally crazy, so it's recommended to increase the reinforcement
Any Spawnable Weed/Zombie will spawn on the Weeds/Browncoats Attack!
Weeds and Browncoats will not spawn on heroes waves. However, any legendary and special variants can spawn on these attacks. Champions with other variants will spawn more often. After vanquishing all enemies, a last champion will spawn. This champion will have 5 times more health than a normal variant, will not have any costume, can normaly damage the player (like if the Flag has not been raised) and cannot be eaten by Chompers. They will spawn with 2 Flag Weeds/Zombies and can drop 5 diamonds
Plants and Zombies heroes will not spawn on Boss Attack!, but all the bosses from the game will spawn at the same time. The Super Giga-Gargantuar Boss wave theme will play on this mode.
The Endless Attack! will be titled ??? like it used to be in beta, and anything can happen. ANYTHING!!!
One last feature for the FoP is that instead of those boring and irritating cones and corns, those falling stuff can be replaced on certain waves.
On the Engineers and Cactus waves, corns and cones will be how they are.
All those characters will do something else
Sunflowers: Healing suns will be falling, healing any plant (only available on daytime)
Peashooters: Peas will be shooten to your direction, and Chili Beans will dance on Hard and CRAZY modes
Chompers: Prepare for the Goop rain!
Roses: Do you like Magic Thistles? I guess they will like you!
Corns: BUDDER! (SkyDoesMinecraft aproved this idea)
Citrons: E.M.Peaches... E.M.Peaches everywhere...
Pirates: EGGS RAIN
Science: (I couldn't think of any joke or pun to do with Sticky Grenades, but here's the idea)
All-Stars: I can't think on something happening in All-Star Attack!, but maybe some Exploding Imp punts can be running to hug you.
Soldiers: Grenades is the best way to deal with stoopid plants. Rockets rain in CRAZY mode
Super-Hero: Maybe some Super Ultra Multi Balls falling in your head can be funny enough.
Imps: A Z7-Mech (3 in Crazy mode) will be spawn inside the "magic circle", and maybe some Future Bug Bot Imps can spaw to help
Boss wave: Couldn't think of anything for this mode. Maybe a boss instantly spawning on the "magic circle"
Endless wave: ALL AT ONCE!!!
BONUS EDIT 2: I had new game modes ideas and funny variants ideas.
Variant
Bowling Citron - Citron variant - a black Citron with less health, less speed but more damage. And Citron Ball will deal more damage. Rarity: Rare
Swimming Star - All-Star variant - I guess the name already define his apparence. He shoots a Citron laser-like bean, but it's actually water. Rarity: Super-Rare
Coral Cactus - Cactus variant - a water-themed Cactus. I'm still thinking on what she should do. Rarity: Rare/Super-Rare
New game modes:
Aquatic wars: This game mode is only playable with underwater themed plants and zombies. The maps are water-themed places, like a beach. The zombies in this game mode are: Scuba Soldier, Marine Biologist, Swimming Star, S.H.R.IMP and Captain Sharkbite. The only plants that can participate in this mode are Beach Citron and Coral Cactus (ideas above).
BONUS EDIT 2.5: I acidentally pressed the submit button without saying the 2 last ideas X,D
Masters Quest: a Team Vanquishing that only accept Master Ranked characters. This mode can give you 2x more coins, and the XP will be replaced by coins too.
Gnome Ops: A Garden/Graveyard Ops that both plants and zombies teamed up to stop the Gnomes. You can play on any normal map, but with 2 bonus maps: the Gnomiverse and the Trials of Gnomus!
Gnome Assault: A Turf Takeover where you need to defend the base against the gnomes. Like in the Gnome ops, plants and zombies teamed up.
Thats all folks! (for now)
BONUS EDIT 3: After a long time, I finally returned to show you a few more ideas.
Dew Flower: a aquatic variant of the Sunflower. A plant that can be playable on Aquatic wars (idea above). Click here to see her abilities. Rarity: Rare
Idea by Showlover (deviantart)
Future Rose: electric variant of Rose. Rarity: Rare / Super-Rare
Click here to see a concept art for her, + some abilities ideas. Art and idea by Showlover.
Water Rose: Rose's aquatic variant. Playable on Aquatic wars.
Concept art and idea by PoppyWolfMoon
http://poppywolfmoon.deviantart.com/art/Water-Rose-Contest-Entry-624791840
Game mode:
Alternative dimension: In this mode, you were teleported to a different dimension where plants and zombies hybrids try to kill you. Your objective is to escape.
Concept art of two enemies
I hope u liked it! @FelipeGames2000
BONUS EDIT 3.5: A few extra variants for the zombie side
Vampire variants + new class idea: OmegaKaijuScorpioBat thought on vampire variants and a new class for the zombie side, since the plants have 2 vampires and zombies have none (even though they already have Baron Von Bats and his vampire zombie minions, but they are not playable characters... yet). There is also another zombie variant that is not a zombie and is a reference to Leatherface.
All zombies concept art and abilities are here.
