Anything more, I get less train for the money I spend.

i don't really understand this statement. it is a flat % increase from what i can tell...you pay for what you get. it's really hard to say that you actually get less train for the $$.

I get 10% or better for the $10 trainer
about 15% for the $20 trainer
around 20% for the $30 trainer

Like Zeon said, for the increase in trainer the % gain is declining

In a simple word.

$10 dollars trainer, I get about 10% gain in dev pt per train.
$20 dollars or $30 dollar trainers, I am not going to get 20$ to 30% gain in dev pt per train.

I do get more dev pt with a more expensive trainer. But, what I get with the extra dev pt is not going to be as cost effective as $10 dollars trainer.

Since I have no rush to be number 1 in the game, I will take it easy... and use 10 trainer.

i just think you guys are being generous with the increase that the $10 trainer gives you. i think if you run average %'s side by side, the $45 trainer would probably be the most cost efficient. that's kinda the conclusion i came to, though i am often wrong.

I'm in the process of retaining Biff to run the statistical analysis on the benefits of the trainers.

no, i looked back at what i figured and you are about right with the 10% for the $10 trainer. the gains from there on up seem pretty much a gradual 3-5% though. so you are probably right, forget i wrote anything

[snorkelbill]

I don't use one right now, except for on gymboree days. I'm saving for the next house. If I use a trainer it'll take me forever to save up!

I do when I'm sick of leveling a stat and am near that stat lvl objective.

Plus once in a while I feel like I got nothing left to buy in the game so I use it all on the trainer, until I look at the crime logs at the end of the month and realized i wasted half a million on trainers that I could have spent on credits for end or intel, and curse myself.

So, I go back to no trainers, and the circle begins again.

No trainer 189 per train
$10 trainer 209 per train
$20 trainer 211 per train
$30 trainer 219 per train



Keep it simple stupid

Don't forget end play a BIG part in your trains... if u have shitty end u dont get as big of a bonus.

I use the trainer ALL the time depending how my crime spree runs it will either be the 20 or 40 buck trainer I haven't got my rep up high enuff for the better trainers yet.

PS I really didnt use a trainer until I hit lvl 30, since i didnt notice much of an increase b4 then.

Lot better than me. I got 100 with my best trainer in my ranch. I miss my ranch. Gambling is bad, folks, unless you win.
