Granted, that's hardly anything, but PopCap are doing these redesigns intentionally, so as to pad out the game. These tweaks make the game lose its visual value which is also important alongside a proper gameplay. Both make a good game. There's a reason why plants were redesigned (for the better) and the designs were introduced in the first place because looks do matter. I understand everyone has a different opinion and taste and the new designs are not bad on their own BUT since I was used to seeing the old ones,I cannot help but compare the old podiums with the new ones & feel that the worlds are losing the charm of ocular prowess. The new ones have no animation in them either; they are static images. I am not and will never ask you to believe what I believe in by all these arguments and such but I am merely stating my own.

(People who are not affected talk how these things are trivial yet most of them have also talked about how the Chinese plants look ugly to them. If they are not so fazed by removal of design & aesthetic based assets, then why do they also complain when Chinese plants look deformed? They should just use the plant for its abilities and not by its looks.)

Also, if they are really think padding out the game like this is okay, then they are wrong. Very wrong.

To be honest, now I am at a point where even though I am dead disappointed, I have realised very well that raging will never help. This is why I didn't rage this time (unlike what Ikram said), because I know it's pointless. Yeah, it gets the steam out but Popcap will never learn etherway. They will do what they think they should do. If they pad out the game like this, I myself don't know how long I will continue playing this. Sorry for the wall o'text. Yeah, so my theory is that they're making bland content for no reason, but actually designing a new game. Might not be a good thing. If you're right, then they better make it good. Actually, even if it's bad, at least give us some way to get prems w/out money
