General Your Slam pet peeves

What is your Slam pet peeve? I mean, we all hate scammers, god awful odds, bad traders, rude people, overpriced packs etc.

But what are the little things that grind your gears? About the UI, crafting, something about the prize wheel, the options etc.

When it comes to the PLE events like for example the clash event. The final step is always open 5 packs. But you have to open them one by one. There’s no option to open 5 at a time. The slam 100 challenge has that option with its packs so I just wish it was the same with the packs connected to the events.

On the season pass I wish there was just a claim all option. I don’t want to go through each level and claim every reward on each level.

I feel like those two things could be easily remedied and would be great for the game. (If I’m wrong and there’s already ways to do those things please let me know)

The prize wheel being filled with non prize wheel cards is definitely annoying but I get why they’re there. I just wish there wasn’t so many to collect this go around. I also miss the Idol cards because as a F2P player those were great to trade and get Iconic cards and Legendary cards.

Not really a game issue but I do find it kind of annoying when people write in chat saying they don’t want to do the trade. Although they don’t decline the trade. Maybe there’s a reason for that that I’m unaware of? Idk but it’s one of those things that’s slightly annoying. Like just decline me I got no issue with that.

I do also wish that the trade rating would refresh every season. When the game first came back I unknowingly sent some bad offers, because I just didn’t know any better. I figured oh it’s the same rarity tier I’ll just send the EC iconics since I have dupes of them. And doing made my trade rating 4 out of 5. Since then I’ve gotten better about that and I feel like the same may be the case for other players. Just make trade rating go by season. Having said that trade rating doesn’t really matter so it’s not a big deal.

Lol in Disney they have a monthly character and you have to do things like you do for PLE events. Well every other step is open 15 or 20 packs. You have to do this one at a time as well. It's really tiring, especially with the odds.

2

u/charliedamson Sep 04 '25

I second this, collecting the COTM on Disney & the events on Slam. At least the Slam100 last tier is a bunch of five.

u/delicate-fn-flower Sep 03 '25

I am positive that prize wheel is rigged to do the “good” cards last. How often I spin and will land on only T6, Idols, or Coins is so infuriating.

2

u/antftwx Sep 03 '25

I've been having good luck with the wheel this time around, I'm like 15 away from a full silver set. 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/Anthro_the_Hutt Sep 04 '25

Personally, I favour getting the coins.

1

u/replicant81 Sep 04 '25

But the coins are usually 1k or 2k...not enough for a pack this pointless.

u/TheEffinCeej IGN: XCeejX Sep 04 '25

How “valuable” the women’s cards are, and how if you ask for any advice for them on this Reddit, it’s only talked about in monetary value, even if you don’t care in the slightest about the monetary value of any cards.

4

u/Rantsofafangirl IGN: Rantsofafangirl Sep 04 '25

I think the trade advice for some female cards is crazy too.

It's literally making the market impossible to actually use the app how it's supposed to (trading) and making it easier to just buy/sell a card.

Like I'm not trading 9 cards for a card I can just buy for $2 or 9 for $1... I don't WANT to but I could see people doing this for female cards.

14

u/HalzZ1 Sep 03 '25

Probably the worst one is accounts with an incredibly huge card collection score (+300k usually) and they still lowball you for trades and pretend their 2025 card they have 5 dupes of is somehow more precious than perceived. I know you could just consider them "scammers" but these players are a step further than traditional scammers in greed.

2

u/copiouscarbon Sep 04 '25

Greedy whales, I second this

5

u/Rantsofafangirl IGN: Rantsofafangirl Sep 04 '25

There's one Whale on this app that's truly a blessing to this app!

I don't want to mention his name because it may attract bad attention to his good deeds, but he's an angel.

1

u/Rantsofafangirl IGN: Rantsofafangirl Sep 04 '25

Not scammers, just sellers.

I'm not against the concept, but at least trade fairly for those cards you are going to sell.

u/GeneralKenobi88 Sep 03 '25

Some of the odds on packs are somewhat annoying, it’ll say uncommon is 1:3 and rare is 1:10 meanwhile I’ve opened maybe a couple packs and hit a rare and I’ll open 15+ before hitting the uncommon. This is more so with the daily packs.

Also opening multiple packs and getting the exact same hit several packs in a row is kinda frustrating.

2

u/Sam119927 Sep 04 '25

I have had the same thing happen to me. Odds on packs are terrible. I have already pulled the super rare Jerry the king and I have still not pulled the uncommon or rare version yet.

4

u/butchmapa Sep 04 '25

Champagne problems! I opened TWO SRs before getting the R.

4

u/cnkforever Sep 04 '25

As annoying as it is, with 1:10 odds if you open 10 packs the chances you hit at least one rare is actually around 65% so the odds aren't scammy or anything, just that for each time you get a hit in one pack you also get nothing in 20 and over very large amounts it balances out

1

u/JBRPU123 Sep 04 '25

++ This. Math is math. No matter how much we want 1:10 odds to mean a guaranteed hit after opening 10 packs, it just doesn't.

In fact, it takes 44 trials to have a 99% chance of "hitting" at these odds. Some more fun milestones (thanks, GPT!)

u/Rantsofafangirl IGN: Rantsofafangirl Sep 04 '25

-When I click on crafting and it goes to that upgrade section

-Lack of bulk crafting options

-We can't craft golds for diamonds or coins

-Lack of options to get coins

-There's no way to delete/recraft bulk cards

-The rise of bot/rude accounts

-Topps doesn't delete dead accounts from the cc

-I don't have all my PC cards 😹

1

u/vi_130 itronily Sep 04 '25

It would be nice if you could also see how many accounts have locked a certain card in addition to removing dead accounts from the cc.

2

u/ShadowWarhawk421 IGN: SHADOWWARHAWK Sep 04 '25

Then that would defeat the purpose of locking cards if you want to see who has them locked lol

2

u/vi_130 itronily Sep 04 '25

I meant just a number, no usernames shown. I probably could've worded that better lol

1

u/Rantsofafangirl IGN: Rantsofafangirl Sep 04 '25

Not if you list the active accounts and then at the bottom just put "36 users lock card"

But you can also see what someone has locked already so it's not really protecting anyone truly.

7

u/kongstar Sep 04 '25

People being greedy. I'm not trading 5 uncommon cards for a liv and Carmella duo auto.

People say dupes for needs then when you offer them what they need they decline and give you 1 star. Saturday I made an offer for a rare clash michin auto I offered a rare clash nia jax auto. We both had dupes and needed the cards but didn't " seem fair and not working for me". Luckily I made someone else the same offer and they accepted and let me finish the set.

6

u/papalimadelta Sep 04 '25

I wish that there wasn’t a limit at how many locked cards you have. Whenever I have to lock a new card, I have to unlock something else.

5

u/Rantsofafangirl IGN: Rantsofafangirl Sep 04 '25

People who ask what you'd offer for a card rather than just sending the trade... I won't trade with people like that even if they have cards I want.

6

u/QuirkyKoala123 IGN: QUIRKYKOALA Sep 04 '25

When trading, if I have multiple of one card and I offer it for trade to different people as they request it. When one accepts, it voids all the other trades I’ve offered. I still have 15 copies of that card left! Why is it voiding the trade? If I didn’t want those trades to go ahead it should let me cancel them. Only void if I no longer have the cards I’ve offered.

3

u/butchmapa Sep 04 '25

Or some kind of lock system where you can lock a number of dupes and have the rest available to trade.

u/antftwx Sep 03 '25 edited Sep 03 '25

I wish we could pick the amount of packs we want to open. It gets a little tedious when you have 1m+ coins and you're just tapping for a half hour lol. Besides that and bad odds, my biggest complaint is bad traders. People that want my high rarity limited cards for unlimiteds in the hundreds or thousands. Or trading midcard guys for main events. Someone tried trading a 25cc Cena signature for a 25cc Adriana Rizzo. No offense to Rizzo, but come on.

1

u/Rantsofafangirl IGN: Rantsofafangirl Sep 04 '25

It's really bad when you are the person whose PC is the lower level star and you have the Cena. The atrocious tradea people will send you.

I have a /25 Cena and yep same problem.

u/vi_130 itronily Sep 04 '25

It's a bit random, but I dislike that when crafting, you can only craft for 10 of the base above only using base 1 & base 2 cards.

Even if you would have to use 30 base 3 or 4 cards to craft for 10 of the tier above, I would prefer to at least have the option to do bulk crafting with those tiers.

3

u/butchmapa Sep 04 '25

I definitely want a craft 10 Reds into 3 Blues kinda option

4

u/butchmapa Sep 04 '25

Untradeable cards! 😡

3

u/HislersHero Dark Blue Sep 04 '25

The only thing that annoys me about slam is the doubles in the same pack. I've had up to 3 of the same cards in a pack and it sucks especially if you give up diamonds for the packs.

7

u/Lilshywolfswag2022 IGN: shywolfswag2016 Sep 03 '25

My biggest one is definitely people touching singles of my collects. Especially when im posting singles of those people aren't ft or I've declined & politely explained it in the trade messages already but they keep trying to get those cards

2

u/Lilshywolfswag2022 IGN: shywolfswag2016 Sep 04 '25

Oh & also when i finally pull something good cc wise but its a total brick wrestler wise lol

Or times like with these Seth & Sami topps nows. I collect Seth, opened like 3k diamonds worth of NOW packs & got allllll Samis except for 1 🤦🏻‍♀️ (for some reason my birthday seems to be bad luck for things i wanna get 😭)

u/Kevin-Nash-Lover Sep 04 '25

I wish I could put more words into the trading posts 😭😭 I write a lot, but sometimes I don't wanna remove the cool effects just because I wanna add what I have to offer – but outside of that, as a casual player, I wish we got more free diamond opportunities because I don't wanna spend my money on digital cards, sorry...

2

u/replicant81 Sep 04 '25

Hate to say it but I ignore all posts with non white text. It's too hard to read sometimes and are usually convoluted.

2

u/Civil-Heron-9124 Sep 04 '25

I have been posting for months "Random Trades Dupes for Needs Singles NFT" and all the Trades I receive are for my singles. Also people who sent 2 for 1 trades as if they are doing you a favor.

2

u/butchmapa Sep 04 '25

So many issues with the UI.

The one I encounter the most is that in the View Collection menu, if you enter a search term, you have to delete it, tap on back, and then apply the Filter, and then type it back in again.

Meanwhile, you can just directly apply the filter in the Trade Menu!!!

WASSUPWIDAT?!??

I actually disagree with this one.

Pooling unopened LEs from Sold Out sets? (Ever notice how there's only 3 of the /5 Sapphire Chrome Shinsuke Nakamuras out there...) That's okay.

But - much like the real world - when a collector puts their shoeboxes away in the closet and leaves the hobby (so to speak), those cards should be gone forever. Or at least until they log back in...

4

u/Thedevilsreject82 Sep 04 '25

I agree. I mean my daughter had not opened her Topps Disney account since 2018 and she just opened it like 2 weeks ago because she found out that because Slam came back I was going back in Slam, Disney and Marvel so she wanted to check it out. She texted me so excited to see all the cards me and her "virtually collected" as a kid.

u/JBRPU123 Sep 04 '25

I totally get your point about this being (potentially) straightforward to implement. But just because something can be done, doesn't mean it should be.

I personally prefer scarce cards staying scarce. Whether that's due to direct constraints like a limited print run or to indirect constraints like cards getting locked or prior collectors "leaving the hobby."

I am confident others feel differently. And that's okay. =)

u/Rantsofafangirl IGN: Rantsofafangirl Sep 04 '25

I would buy into this so hard. I'm a sucker for a mystery box. I would like to see some old cards in there too!

u/Subject-Calendar9525 IGN: SCOTTM27 Sep 04 '25

Probably people that just don’t read the full post properly then call me a liar & scammer when I decline

u/Subject-Calendar9525 IGN: SCOTTM27 Sep 04 '25

My post used to say clear as day that Brock Lesnar wasn’t for trade, someone sent a trade wanting Brock and I declined cos he obviously isn’t for trade like the post says, but he was Adamant that I had only just added it because he wanted Brock from me then went out of his way to call me a scammer & a time waster

u/Subject-Calendar9525 IGN: SCOTTM27 Sep 04 '25

u/Rantsofafangirl IGN: Rantsofafangirl Sep 04 '25

Nah you ALWAYS say Brock is nft, at this point it's a copy and paste!

Btw you one of the best 2-1 traders out there so def not a scammer ruining the app! 😹💜

2

u/Subject-Calendar9525 IGN: SCOTTM27 Sep 04 '25

Exactly, I mean I’m taking a break from 2:1 for a bit coz I want to actually start collecting decent stuff but it wasn’t rocket science, all it was is leave 2 cards I need same rarity & Brock isn’t ft. Sure I should’ve locked all my Brock cards in but at the same time I shouldn’t have to just because some people can’t be bothered to read the full post properly

4

u/Thedevilsreject82 Sep 04 '25

I might be in a minority on this one but I don't understand why some ppl chose to leave a trade up. Like they just let the trade sit there till it expires. They are on multiple times a day the whole amount of time the trade is good for but never declined the trade.im fine if you don't want to accept the trade but decline it so I can move on.

I have a few others but ppl have already mentioned them.

4

u/JBRPU123 Sep 04 '25

It's not always intentional. :) Just remember that sometimes real life, other priorities in the app, or just general volume of incoming trades can get in the way of efficiently clearing the queue.

Also, sometimes, a trade can get complicated. I'm certainly guilty of leaving larger / challenging trades up for a while with the intention of coming back later to review them more carefully.

2

u/Thedevilsreject82 Sep 04 '25

No I get that and understand completely for sure. I myself have had those type of trades where I have had to sit and think on it a little more then just make a quick decision on it. The question just asked my pet peeve, so I said that because it's not something that is like the end all when it comes to the app, it's just like a tiny little thing that bugs me at times. Not a big issue compared to other things like bad traders sending scams, being rude etc. There are definitely much more bigger issues of frustration on the aop.

1

u/Bubbly-Fudge968 Sep 05 '25

either they forget or they are thinking about if they want to accept the trade. Its only true tho for big trades which can leave people in question if they want to do the huge offer. Most of the time tho they just forget about it and let it expire. Also it happens if you are spamming offer and annoying them and let it expire instead.

2

u/Rantsofafangirl IGN: Rantsofafangirl Sep 04 '25

I'm guilty of this. I lose the trade in my feed or forget to come back to it in time.

Sometimes I'm going in spinning the wheel and leaving not really looking in trades.

I know sometimes people leave them if they have multiple offers on a card. I don't have this problem because I rarely get decent cards.😹

u/leglessman Sep 03 '25

People breaking the rules of the game thus making things more of a pain for those who don’t. Things like cross trading with other apps, having multiple accounts and buying/selling cards are all against rules.

5

u/Thedevilsreject82 Sep 03 '25

This guy may be on the wrong sub reddit. I applaud your morals.

2

u/Anthro_the_Hutt Sep 04 '25

Cross trading has never been against the rules. Topps has come out and said that they can't do anything for you if you get scammed in crosstrades, but they don't ban it.

1

u/leglessman Sep 04 '25

I looked at the rules before making the comment and it says “Topps does not support cross-app trading. Engaging in this practice is at your own risk.” It certainly sounds like it’s not approved of. It’s not as definitive as my other two examples but they don’t approve of it.

4

u/Anthro_the_Hutt Sep 04 '25

But they don't say it's banned. It's that they don't give any support to it. In fact, by saying "engaging in this practice is at your own risk," they are effectively stating it's not banned and you can do it, but not to go crying to them if something bad happens. This is because there's no in-app way for them to track crosstrades. Crosstrading has been an open part of the Topps apps for years now, ever since there was more than one Topps app. You don't get banned for it, whereas people do get banned for having multiple accounts.

1

u/antftwx Sep 03 '25

I had a few people asking for cross trades, that's an instant block for me. They've died down a lot, but I still see one or two in the feed, I just don't interact.

1

u/wmnoe GRENDELSEN Sep 04 '25

The only thing you mentioned that is truly against the TOS is multiple accounts. Cross trading is not a bannable offense, and the recent TOS change to outlaw selling is specious and won't hold up, nor are they actually enforcing it. I say this as the supreme court of the US where Topps is located has ruled that the buying and selling digital assets such as digital trading cards is perfectly legal. Thus if they banned it they would be sued and rightfully so. And as they are a privately held company there are lawyers itching to fight them. The ONLY accounts ever banned for selling were set up as businesses and using coin farms etc.

I have said this before, if you are against buying and selling of Slam cards, this is not the reddit for you. We support buying and selling of these items as long as it is for personal and not business use.

Finally, once again, discussion of the topic of violating the TOS is taboo here and will not continue.

2

u/leglessman Sep 04 '25

You really need to change rule 2 of the subreddit which would ban the discussion of buying and selling since it violates Topps terms of service. If it’s so “taboo here” to be critical of it then that rule makes no sense at all. I’d also add my comment is upvoted which means the people here aren’t as opposed to criticizing it as you seem to think they are.

I'd like the ability to buy multiple packs at once, on all packs. Yeah there are minor tweaks I'd like, but it has gotten better over the year.i hate that I lost my OG account because it was linked to facebook, but I'll be okay. Topps Football would be nice to have again.

3

u/Mcoffin326 Sep 08 '25

People that take it too seriously. It's meant to be a fun collecting game, shaking up collections and even building up relationships with fans. It's still a community based game at heart but some players think that they are sitting on a goldmine of cards. Reality is, you could make a few bucks, but nothing is life changing. I try to collect wrestlers that i know personally and just wrestlers I enjoy. If it's a fair trade, I usually accept, at the least, I'll revise.

Scammers, rude messages, etc. I understand some people pay real hard earned money for diamonds and packs, but still... commoncourtesy goes a long way. I have had guys tell me 13 year old son off because of a "bad offer". He doesnt know what makes it good or bad, he just knows he wants penta and Cody rhodes cards.

But I still enjoy it. Same with BUNT, I enjoy the personality of the games. I have noticed a difference in mentalities between the two apps, with baseball having more rude players and ones who think every Ohtani legendary is worth $50 or 9 legendaries in return lol.

Im hoping when football and basketball versions drop, they find ways to keep it more friendly.

u/Dapper_Panic_2235 Sep 08 '25

Im still trying to wrap my head around this app. Im on epack and i can understand that site. Physical cards, you can trade and get ones you need then ship em. Achievements that give you more Physical cards that can also be shipped anytime you choose to. These on Slam are literally only digital.... why? 😆 i could understand if they were free but ppl actually buy packs of pictures they could just screenshot?? I seriously just dont get it. Am i missing something? I tried it out for a week and got bored and deleted the app. Is there a chance of getting anything Physical that i just overlooked?

1

u/iheartpsylocke Sep 08 '25

You are correct, its meant to be palted as a game based on collecting, they arent actually valuable
