To be honest, if PvZ2 was published by Activision or Capcom, the series could go lots better. They too wants casual games, not just EA. At the end of the day, both EA and PopCap haves mistakes. There's no excuse for this.


 * Getting XP packets or Puzzle Pieces to level up plants, while makes sense, why do we need to pay a buttshit ton of money to upgrade the plants in the Chinese version? I'm fine with International's costing.
 * Slapping Legendary Rarities for a plant that is mostly an upgrade. (Chinese) I think the Staff from PvZH would be much better than you guys, since they are better at balancing shit.


 * How the fuck does it make sense? Why not just have coins or gems just upgrade plants? Why do we need an XP bar in general that is actually not experience at all technically. Because of this shit mechanic, all games now have this system of filling up a bar before being able to upgrade anything as it's more profitable. Justifying this by saying "it makes sense" is just as bad as the guys implementing it.

Okay, actually I was tripping balls, that system is fucking terrible. Why can't we just get XP for plants when we play finish a level with those plants we chose? That's better than gathering XP by Pinatas, which is a mistake to add. But still, we need originality in getting XP for a casual game, that is fucking unoriginal. And why do we need XP in a game anyway? Unless it's an RPG, XP as in EXPERIENCE should not be a part of the game as it makes the game slow as fuck. Almost every type of game I install these days has some sort of XP bar in the game which just fucking sucks. Why do I need XP in a racing game? Why do I need XP in an action game? Why do I need XP in a CCG? Fuck, last day, I saw a puzzle game that had XP system. God that is stupid. Yes, I know why they are there but it is stupid nonetheless.
 * That team created PvZH to begin with. They lack the credibility to make anything balanced when the very game they made are for disbalanced people.

All it does is give the players a long ass route of leveling up and getting measly rewards when the devs can very well implement a much simpler, easier and faster method of getting rewards. But no, freemium games do this to make the players work their asses off for small rewards.
