[PC] Hacks are already spotted
Earlier today, I played Gardens & Graveyards Classic and there was already a hacker. I know this because he had 51 vanquishes in less than 3 minutes on the plant side. We couldn't even advance out of...

The unfortunate side effect to PC gaming is that there will always be the select few whom decide to cheat. Whether or not they decide to make it painfully obvious is the choice they make and the risk vs reward is something they accept the challenge in. If you see someone you suspect of cheating and wish to report them while in game, you can click on their name in the scoreboard, click View Profile, then proceed to click Report User. I personally have not encountered one after 31 hrs of play, but I am not foolish enough to deny their existence.
Try using the current system and see what the results are. Who knows, maybe they will implement something else to further help against it.
Unfortunately, it is not a select few in this game. It is already full of cheaters. 1st, I experienced the instant team killing cheaters that there are threads about already. The people are most definitely using aim bot. In the last couple of days. I've also seen several people using unlimited ammo. I was sniping and had a shoot out with the guy that was spamming rockets at our team. I mean just shooting them one after another. Today I saw a sunflower that had endless beam and a chopper with endless burrow just hanging out underground at our teleporter pad. I don't know what the developers planning to do to do to get rid of these cheaters, but I think I and a lot of other people have just about had it. I like the game overall, but these people are just running rampant. The most frustrating thing is that the reporting process in this game is more of a pain in the ass in the actual cheaters. I've seen a lot of poorly planned game launches in last 30 years, but overall this one is just a train wreck.
As posted above if you see issues you can report it
It's a little over a year later, but the issues have not been successfully addressed. I've played PVZ-GW for a while now (about 7 months), and while it is fun (my personal favorite is the Team Vanquish segment), it has gotten to where almost EVERYONE is running AIMBOT and as a result, if more than 4-5 are on a side, you end up with this massive bandwidth consumption that most connectivity can't deal with (it might be one thing if the AIMBOT was a function of the game, but come on, up to 32 people running their own tracking AIMBOT? Insane system demand!).
In the past few days, I've had my Playstation actually TURN ITSELF BACK ON after I turned it off after seriously quirky play led me to shut it down! Stutter is just about to shut it down from the moment I go online, and no matter what corner you hide in, there's always those 4-5 players who will hunt you down and kill you, time-and-time again, within seconds of you respawning. NO ONE is that intuitive.
I can't believe AIMBOT or GOD MODE are that hard to detect for POPCAP or EA! If they killed those hard-charging cheater's accounts and forced them into a level 1 reset, most would assuredly quit. Then again, when a LEVEL 1 Zombie is running around with 22 kills, and already has his Welder Engineer, I guess it's all just part of the game. Placating free-loading hackers is how SWTOR and Warhammer pretty much met their death knells. I guess Garden Warfare is next. Sad, this is a decent game if it weren't for all the cheaters.
Your playing on PS3 or PS4?
I don't have either version but I feel confident in saying the PS4 version has no cheaters (program Aimbot type cheaters... if you consider KB/Mouse -> controller cheating then that's a thing for all consoles)
The PS3 version.. I really highly doubt entire games are full of cheaters.
This is a PC section too.
If this is for your Playstation (3 or 4) I think something else is up other than everyone is cheating. Maybe bad lag on your end?
