While the new ones give you more info, the old one HAD style and pizzazz at least. I mean, for example, take a look at NMT's old preview! The placement of the plants and the zombies and the inclusion of Dr. Zomboss in the middle made you feel pumped about playing the world.

Also, at least the lawn pic actually looks clean and professional by showing the full thing along with round borders to match the brown box that ALSO has round borders.

Oh, but the new preview? It looks LAME! The background has some lazily cropped lawn, and it doesn't look like it fits in either because the borders aren't round at all! The old ones had people feel like "Oh! This world looks really cool! So those are the plants and zombies look quite threatening! I can't wait to play this one! (even if post-Far Future worlds aren't that good)" while the new one is just like "Oh, uh, these are the rewards you get from playing this world."

You know, the new previews may look terrible, but EA has officially done something nobody would ever expect them to do. They actually removed the IAP for unlocking worlds. Even though there's no reason to do that now, they would still hope someone accidentally clicks to pay with real money. Yes, they removed the IAP for worlds that used to cost about 4.99 (I think) that gave a bunch of proper content is now replaced with upwards of 30$ / 60$/ 90$ IAPs that includes random seed packets that either need grinding like crazy or hacksand in the end may or may not give you stfuff for the plant you want. Yes, they are such saints for removing the IAPs for world unlocks when they have allowed PopCap to introduce something much worse (which is why it was removed as the latter option is more profitable)

That's like saying: "Hey! the doctor successfully removed my tumor via the surgery but left the scissor inside my body so that now I can be infected with necrosis!"
