Something is terribly WRONG
A few months ago I contacted their “help” center about the game crashing constantly in the Arena. (Both mine and my husbands) Help offered me a lot of coin and gems. I said no thank you just please fix the problem.
What would you think if right after contacting them; on the daily calendar, EA says you got so many gems and coins but you DO NOT get them. What gives? EA Who is getting them?
Strange the piñata’s don’t go missing only the gems and coin?Every day they go …missing… on my game but not my husbands. (He never contacted their “help”)
Contacted them again. Lots of words but no help? Weird. My husband and I have both played this game for years; in our 70’s and retired loved it… after contacting them this time I now get commercials between the first 2 Arena games that slow me down. My husband does not…Not fair play EA. Handicapping my play. That is Not fair play at all EA ! Tonight we decided to play Ice Bound Battleground…I now get a commercial after every game. My husband who did not ever contact “Help” did not get one commercial.. not Fair play at all EA ! I used to pay the $20. A plant… and I get Handicapped, lied to, and what would you call gems and coin going missing……. Why? It is a …g a m e…. It feels vindictive to me??? Something has gone terribly wrong. SAD we used to play hours a day…… can not see why they are doing this? Lesson …not a good idea to contact “HELP?” Bad business.Show lessGrand-Mom !!
5 Star But: Awesome In (Almost) All Ways…
I love this game and I’ve been playing it for a number of years. Changes over the years with the inclusion of Arena competitions that change every few days and daily challenges, along with the continuous addition of new plants helps to keep things fresh, fun and engaging. I rarely leave reviews anywhere, but a relatively recent glitch has me writing one now. It has to do with playing Arena challenges. Every so often (but often enough that this is really becoming an issue), right in the middle of the game, the app just shuts down and kicks me off of the platform. And what ends up happening then is I lose the gauntlet required to play that game, and also the satisfaction of knowing whether or not I was actually going to win or not. This isn’t a huge issue overall, but it does mean I end up forfeiting a gauntlet when I may not have actually lost, and I also then don’t receive whatever prize I would have received for that game’s win. And as there’s no way to recoup that particular game or gauntlet, it just kind of feels like a rip off, tiny though it is. Over time, those small rip offs add up, you know? And the overall effect is….irritating, to say the least. I wish the developers would address this bug. I’m sure enough money is being made by them without having to nickel and dime loyal players here and there. Then this game would have my full-throated endorsement of a true 5 star game without the caveat in the title.Show lessDisappointed Former Loyal Fan
Crashes, micro transactions and greed.
I decided to write a review after sending in a bug report because the arena matches have been crashing and closing the app just seconds before the clock runs out multiple times for the past few days. After the 5th time today I decided that I’ve had enough. The matches cost gauntlets to play and you receive no points if it crashes, which is frustrating. So you have to use gems to buy more gauntlets. If you don’t have enough gems you can buy some with real money or watch multiple ads for 3 gems a piece…. Someone has already alluded to the fact that it’s highly suspicious and nearly impossible to reach the full reward for a win streak also. But you can spend more gems to keep the streak alive even tho you lost…. Tell me the game isn’t rigged without telling me the game is rigged.
The amount of micro transactions in this game is disgusting. Half the plants cost $5 EACH. The constant ads are annoying. What happened to paying to not see ads any more? That I would gladly do. But it’s all about the money so sit there and suffer through 30 seconds of “gameplay” in ads that look nothing like the real games.
The first PvZ game was fun for my daughter and I to play on the kiosk at Olive Garden one day waiting for our food. This game is one big money grab and I’ve had enough of it.Show lessAwm357
Amazing game, but..
I love this game. It is super entertaining and I’m kind of addicted. But.. there has been a little bit of problems. 1. Whenever you update the game and add a plant, there is a load data part that takes 10 minutes, which can result in devices overheating and losing battery. 2nd. The game has too much adds, can you make it every 5 levels you get one add? And lastly, the game doesn’t get any new maps added in it. This is making me sad because I wanted plants like scarcely shroom and umbrella leaf to return. But alas, the game is very fun. Also, why is Chomper a premium plant that costs money, but torch wood and hot date are not? That’s kind of weird. Also, can you make snow pea a non- premium? I would say you could put it in the castle map. Also, Star fruit should cost gems, and squash should be buffed. Also, why is laser beam doing more damage than bloomerang when 1. Laser beam can hit every zombie in the game, but bloomerang cant hit the jester or shovel zombie. 2. Laser beam can hit every zombie in one lane, and bloomerang can’t. 3. Laser beam shoots faster than bloomerang. And 4. Laser beam only costs 200 sun for what it does? Why doesn’t bloomerand cost 150, and why doesn’t lazar beam cost 250? Also, Why does tile turnip go all the way up to 10K when I don’t even have it up to one lane yet? And a suggestion: can you make Twin sunflower 100 sun?Show lessMamo4u
Sell Turkey-pult!
Devs: PLEASE sell Turkey-pult. I'm so tired of anyone with Turkey-pult having an advantage and being unable to obtain one myself. Nerfing it isn't the right option, make it be purchasable once or twice so everyone can enjoy it. I have checked every single day for months and months to try to catch it when it's sold, yet the same plants are constantly on sale and most of the time it's one that doesn't need to be on sale (looking at you Grapeshot). Sell more than one plant each day, let people fill their collections, slowly, but surely instead of locking us out of half the game. It's preposterous that if I miss a little bit of time playing out of the years I have played, I miss a plant and have no idea if or when I'll ever be able to obtain it. And this isn't the only plant this happens with. A year later and I still have no idea if or when I can get a Turkey-pult of my own.
Don't get me wrong: I love this game and will continue to play it. But locking half of your game away and leaving no reliable choice to fill your collection is just not a good look. You guys defined a genre. We know you can do better.Show lessDreamingOfD2Support
I am addicted to the best game ever
I started playing this game 10 years ago....started with the part 1.
I must say it's an interesting and captivating game. I work as a medical doctor but I intentionally still make out time to play this game everyday. I can say that I'm quite experienced in the game. I've finished all the worlds and currently just replay the tournaments and the Piñata and Penny Pursuit. My family and friends all know that this game has become a part of my life and they keep asking why I haven't been made the game brand ambassador yet 😄.
I love this game because it also enhances my cognition and strategic planning 😄.
Nevertheless, recently the game just crashes and shuts down in the middle of the play and it's so frustrating. I have lost so many plays and gauntlets because of this and it is quite annoying. I have deleted and re-installed the game several times but the problem still persists. I don't know the reason behind this and I wish I can get help.Show lessEunice the best player
Great game, but...
I’ve been playing this game for about 2 years now, and I loved it the entire time. I’ve deleted it several times, but now that I got it back I love it even more. I am writing this review not to only tell you that the game is good, but there are also some issues. There is one bug that makes it so that Crazy Dave and Penny will talk about the travel log every time I go into a world. It’s been happening since ancient Egypt, and now I’m in dark ages. It still doesn’t affect my gameplay though, it is just slightly annoying and I gets in my way. Now the micro-transactions. I find these in many mobile games, and that does include this one. I would usually ignore it and just play the game without it. It’s not really a problem to me, but I see that it is a problem to some other people writing reviews. So I would at least want you to make some features more accessible, or maybe you could pay gems or coins to rent one of those plants to play with in an actual level, just like you can with the extra seed slots. Now for the good things about this game. I could mention so many, but here are a few: It is fun, it is funny, it’s easy to get, it has many different things to do, it give new plants so you never get bored with old ones, and so much more. There are some problems with this game that I would want fixed, but it’s just to good of a game to give any less than 5 stars.Show lessxXRed-RagerXx
A buggy, glitchy, micro transaction filled master peace
I love plants vs zombies, the original is one of my favorite games of all time. the sequel, however, is so close to being great. If you like challenge this game has it. However, the game is absolutely ruined by bugs and glitches, the music doesn’t play at all, it won’t stop telling you about the travel log every time you open the map, and worst of all, oh man worst of all, if you start a new save the zen garden tutorial will freeze the game every time you start a level and have plants in your garden. This makes the game nearly unplayable! And now onto my original gripe with this game, micro transactions! this game has it all, gambling mechanics which prey upon children, or as they are called in game ‘piñatas’. The best plants are either locked off behind timed events or purchases. It’s just, it asks for money at every corner, “oh get more coins here, oh pay for power ups, oh get gems to speed up this thing, it’s all so… infuriating.
The worst part about all of this is that the game itself isn’t bad, the gameplay is fun and not too addicting, it provides interesting and fun challenges, but this is all overshadowed by its major flaws in quality of life and it’s micro transaction.Show lessFreeMonngo
Great game ruined by ads
I’m an OG PvZ player. I remember when it first came out, and I loved it. Then, I didn’t play for many years, but a couple years ago I started playing again. And I loved it, it’s been part of my daily morning routine while I’m having my coffee.
However, recently the ads have been more and more present, and more and more annoying. They last forever after you finished a game, and you can’t skip them for the longest time. If your phone is not on silent, the ads will play aloud by default, even if the sounds on the app are off. Often times I have the intention to keep playing but I just close the app instead, cause I can’t stand the ads. It completely ruins the user experience.
I’m an adult, but if I had a young child I’d not let them play it because of the content of the recent ads. It’s about some makeover game, that has a really bad and negative message about body image, and that I don’t think it’s suitable for young children. I’m not a prude, it’s not about things being sexual, it’s about making fun of people because of certain physical features, and how to “improve” their look.
Aside from the content, just the length of the ads and how often they come up while you’re playing ruin the whole game.Show less_marinara
Soooo… something happened
I don’t know if it is my phone but ever since yesterday, I haven’t been hearing any music. Did my music crash? Is it permanent? What happened to my music? All I did was put my phone on the charger and it just muted. Is something wrong with my phone or the game because it can’t be something else, right? It doesn’t “sound” like a big deal (no pun intended) but I really enjoy the music in this game and I don’t think I like it without background music. The music is joyful and I don’t feel right without it. I’m trying to get used to having no sound in the background until it comes back, if it comes back. This isn’t really a review and more of a request but I just really want that music back again. Plus, the sound effects are working fine so why is it just the music that.. crashed? What even happened? All I did was charge my phone, like a normal person. Anyways, I would really like to hear some music again so it would be nice if you lovely folks and PopCap could help me out with that. Thanks! 😊Show lessShixninja
