Google Play will not connect to my Google Play Account after Hay Day update

After the recent Hay Day update, I can no longer connect to Google play. I follow the directions, but when I choose my account name, instead of connecting, it kicks me to a page to start a new Google play account. I can not even start a new account, I have to cancel. I have contacted Google Play. They confirmed I had the latest version of Google play, and that my device was indeed connected to Google play and said the problem was with Hay Day. Anybody else having this problem? I could really use some help!
