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.
