The Pokémon TCG Live game client will be offline for maintenance from 15:00 ~ 19:00 (UTC) on July 22, 2025 to address known issues. Please see the Maintenance Notice - 07/22/25 announcement for more information.
The team is currently investigating increased player reports related to intermittent disconnections, freezing, and general latency issues that may be impacting the gameplay experience in Pokémon TCG Live.
Do you think TCG Live sucks compared to TCG online? Be HONEST.
I migrated my account today because I’d never heard of TCG Live and, even though I was already happy with TCG Online, I thought the new version might be an improvement, and I was excited that there was a mobile version. I’m not only unimpressed, I’m honestly shocked at how much I dislike it. I loved Pokémon TCG as a kid and TCG Online got me excited about TCG for a long while. In less than a day, TCG live has destroyed that, and I don’t know if I’ll ever even really use it. I wish I hadn’t migrated my account. Do people generally agree, or are you happy with the new version?

I completely agree and I haven’t even been past the loading screen to play an allegedly bugged game. The problem is not connection but I think it is the lack of active players making matchups rare.

Agree as well, not a fan and wish I didn't migrate my account either

Probably just me, but my experience with PTCGL has been fine. And on the opposite, my experience with PTCGO was awful.

I so nearly migrated earlier today what with the big announcement, then match making went down again and realised that would be a big mistake. Think I'll keep waiting and hoping for improvements........ and a collection section..... and to be able to scroll through the disgard pile..... and for the battle pass to load up without restarting.... and so on.... I know I'll enjoy it more when I have all my cards but there's so many little things that annoy, that I think I'll wait.

Sadly, it feels like PTCGL was made from the ground up to be a mobile game and no thought put into the PC side of it.
For mobile it is adequate to play (when it actually works)
PC is a mess, too much dead space and the effects on the board are over the top. The general UI needs a massive overhaul before release as it is just pure ugly to play on PC

I completely agree, the TCGO was easy to use and had everything you'd want. The TCGL is a major downgrade not only in usability but it's lacking a lot of the feature's the TCGO had (trading, chatting, and open tournaments to name a few,) plus the cards are not pleasing to look at, specifically any with a holo pattern. I haven't migrated my account and I'm not planning on it any time soon.
