These games would be much better without the forced cross-game connectivity. All-star is nothing like the GW2 one, except for the name and Imp Punt. Ability wise nothing but just the fact that they decided to call it All-Star instead of the original zombie it was based on reeks of advertisement rather than a legit re-introduction of a zombie in a better sequel. Not to mention, if they are gonna introduce two GW zombies, why not introduce the new GW 2 plants in PvZ 2? PvZ: H has shown us that they can very well adapt Chinese plants in their game but they opted to use it for a spin-off rather than the legit sequel. Well the name All-Star Zombie sounds a lot cooler than Football Zombie. And besides, he is completely different than Football Zombie. Honestly, I have no idea why you are so salty about All-Star. Probably for the same reason I am. PvZ 2 is a sequel to the first game. However, instead of calling this returning zombie by the name it originally had, they decide to try and be consistent with the spin-off by calling it the name it has in that game. It doesn't make much sense, and there'd really be no reason for them to do that other than to advertise Garden Warfare. There's really no reason to call it Football Zombie, except for it's body sort of. Face it, All-star is nothing like Football Zombie! Plus, what's wrong with advertising? Do you hate GW2? Don't they have a right to advertise games that are made by them? Since you yourself said that PvZ 2 All Star has no similar abilities with GW one, they have no reason to call it All Star either (other than blatant advertising). They could have very well made a name like "Rugby Zombie" and it still would have made sense.

Advertising isn't wrong but advertising that's forced is wrong. You don't have a good enough track record with games but here's a simple explanation that even you'll get: Whenever an YouTube video is sponsored ie paid by a company to advertise their product (whatever it may be), it gets an extreme amount of hate on the internet. This is because the video completely lets this fact out by only praising the product rather than showing both the merits and demerits (aka a proper showcase) and thus people start hating on it since the uploader gets paid to do so. So people don't like forced advertisements. They constantly advertise their new Star Wars game in PvZ 2 and advertised GW, but those weren't bad as those didn't get in your face; this gets. It is not forced though. It doesn't give you a link in the Almanac Description, or play an ad whenever it appears. If you don't want to buy Garden Warfare, I doubt a single zombie in PvZ 2 is gonna make you. It is just a little call-out to another PvZ game. Are you upset they added Foot Soldier in PvZ Heroes? Because it is essentially the same exact thing. There's two reasons why this zombie in PvZ: Heroes doesn't bother me:

1. I don't even play it so I have no say in it.

2. It is a spin off just like Garden Warfare so it doesn't matter.

Remember this same kind of thing happened when developers brought a Chinese plant for the first time in PvZ 2. Many didn't like simply because it belonged to a Chinese game at first but look at how many Chinese plants are there in PvZ:H and so many plants have such weird designs and names but nobody's complaining. Why, because it's spin-off and doesn't warrant that kind of attention. But PvZ2 is a direct sequel to the game where this zombie originated from and just for the sake of refrence they changed the name to the one from GW. It is forced simpley because it's a blatant advertisement of GW in PVZ2 as the zombie it represents namewise belongs in another game.
