Garden Ops Errors

I 've been having to put up with this problem as well, but I could always start my own session. Problem was I'd wait endlessly for anyone to join ☹️  As of today, 8/30/14, this game seems to have learned a new 'trick' to further aggravate me--- This seems to only affect the Pea Shooter...the controls went wonky on the controller all of a sudden. The fire button would not respond, If I press triangle (ps4) the peashooter would go into pea gatling mode, but I couldn't control the fire..it would keep firing until it ran out of ammo. When I pot a plant, it will fire once from it's cannon afterwards. To this I've tried closing the game app, rebooting the ps4, and recalibrating/resetting the controller-- with no success.  I've only rented this game with intent to buy, but these unfortunate unresolved and worsening issues have got me frustrated....a shame...I really enjoy playing garden ops mode...
