Severe gameplay issues - Cards not working, softlocks etc.
About half of the times when I use a card that let's me pick a card from the hand or deck the game doesn't load those cards properly. I'm stuck with no option but to let that card go to waste, or if I'm unlucky, let the timer reach 0:00 so the game picks a card for me.
Another issue is the game frequently gives me some sort of error-card. It's shown as the back side of a Pokémon card, but I can't select it and when inspecting it shows as a pink, unloaded sprite. When this occurrs the game is over and there's nothing to do about it. This is because whenever I use a card that shuffles my hand into the deck, the match completely softlocks. The game shows the animation of shuffling my cards into the deck, minus the error-card and thus the game doesn't deal out any cards to me and therefore soft locks the match. Even when the timer appears and runs down to zero, the game does absolutely nothing.
Mind you, both these things may happen in the same match so it's just a roll of the dice whether the match is going to be playable or not. The game is an unplayable mess and it's a waste of time to just pray for one (1) single match to work properly.
