one thing it seems you generalize everything you have to say, if you look at the staff page you feel buyng level 4 or level 5 at 300-500k isnt a premium price at the middle of the season versus the start of the season. i am at no words right now.


If you're spending more than 50k to purchase a level 4 trainer, you're doing something wrong, end of story. I just checked for giggles and a 13197 salary level 4 trainer with no specialty just sold for 10k. That's certainly a low enough signing price and the salary is low enough that you can get plenty of time out of him before having to replace him (or choosing to if you check the staff market for trainers frequently).

you know the usual "MTU" sickness - stands for making things up
...
am i wrong to say you go crazy to buy a trainer at a premium for which has a salary that cant ruin your teams financials, through which at the end of the season see his salary demand slowly balloon to more than 50% than when just hired, for which the results of your training varies to the minutes you give that the results you get arent satisfying or goes slower as the years go by.

come on figure that out!


Speaking of MTU - to see the salary increase by 50% within 14 weeks, you'd need to have purchased a level 9 trainer (assuming the formula that the increase is 1.0075 + (trainer level * 0.0025) percent holds true for non-existent staff levels. A level 7 trainer will see his salary go up 50% within 17 weeks, and a level 4 trainer takes 24 weeks for the salary to go up 50% (it's 20 weeks for level 5).

the question i would post how many times did it happen that a level 4 with that low salary get sold by that cheap?

if its once every a number of times then it still defeat the fact that you need luck, but on a normal basis we still pay a hefty premium

thanks for the numbers haha appreciate that finally concrete stuff


I literally just watched a level 4 trainer with a 14k salary sell for 3k. 14k isn't a great weekly rate, but it's hardly oppressive. Too many people have the mindset that they've got to have the absolute best (either in trainer level, so they overpay based on that), for trainee potential (when they never even use the full potential anyway), or to get the absolute cheapest trainer and pay heavily upfront for that. It's quite alright to be economical instead, choose a slightly less ideal trainer for a much cheaper price and be content that you've still got a staff member that you can sustain financially for a good time and can replace cheaply when the time comes.

You are talking about a level 5 (superior) trainer; hrudley was giving an example of a level 4 (advanced) trainer. If you want a level 5, then yes, you are currently going to have to pay that much. That's one of the reason many people say that a level 5 isn't worth the cost given how much cheaper it is to get a level 4.

The only trainer selling at $180k in the next couple of hours is a level 5 - Eric Miller. There are 7 level 4s who will sell before him, only 1 who has a higher salary and all are currently have a bid of $5k or less. Some don't even have a bid.

EDIT - Miller just jumped to over $350k.
