The "New Beginnings" Approach (Because Maybe You're Feeling Dramatic)
This method is perfect for those who crave a fresh start. Think of it as a witness protection program for baseball players. Here's what you gotta do:
- Hit the X Button: Brave the treacherous main menu and press the ever-important X button.
- Embrace the "Start New" Button: Don't be intimidated by the shiny "Start New" button. It won't judge your fickle baseball dreams.
- Welcome Back, Ballplayer Creation Screen: Here's your chance to craft your masterpiece (hopefully this time you'll get it right... maybe?). Remember, with great pitching power comes great responsibility.
- The Exit Stage Left: Once you've built your new baseball god (or goddess), simply exit the creation screen and head back to the main menu.
- Load Up and Take Flight: Now, with a heart full of hope (and maybe a tinge of regret for your first creation), load your new save file and take on the world!
Pro Tip: This method allows you to keep your old save file, just in case you get nostalgic for your "Mike Trout" phase.
The "Agent on Speed Dial" Approach (Because Who Needs Patience?)
For the impatient souls who can't stand the thought of starting over, there's this slightly riskier option:
QuickTip: Reflect before moving to the next part.
- Channel Your Inner Superstar: Imagine you're a disgruntled athlete with a fire-breathing agent on speed dial.
- Dial Up Your Agent (Virtually): Head to your RTTS profile and navigate to the "Manage" section. This is where you contact your virtual agent (who, unlike real agents, probably won't demand a hefty cut).
- Request a Change (Nicely, Please): Here's the tricky part. You can request a position change from your agent, but it depends on your overall rating. If you're a scrub, they might laugh you out of the virtual ballpark. So, grind those stats, my friend!
- Fingers Crossed: If the baseball gods are smiling upon you (and your overall rating is decent), your manager might suggest a position change based on your performance. This is your chance to shine (in a new position)!
Warning: This approach relies on the whims of your virtual manager. Be prepared for some radio silence if your stats are subpar.
FAQ: Switching Players Like a Pro
How to Access My Old RTTS Player?
Don't worry, your first creation isn't gone forever. Through the main menu, navigate to your ballplayer profile and select "Manage." There you can switch between your created players.
QuickTip: Keep a notepad handy.
How Many Players Can I Create?
There's no limit to the number of players you can create, but you can only actively progress with one at a time. So, create an army of baseball stars if you wish, but focus on building one legend at a time.

How Do I Know Which Position Change to Request?
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
Look at your player's strengths and weaknesses. If you have a cannon for an arm, maybe pitching is the way to go. If you hit dingers like they're going out of style, consider sticking to a hitting position (just maybe not first base... unless you dream of being the next Joey Votto).
How Long Does the Agent Approach Take?
There's no guaranteed timeframe. It depends on your performance and the whims of the virtual manager. Just keep grinding and hope for the best!
Tip: Break long posts into short reading sessions.
Is There a Way to Completely Restart My Career?
Absolutely! If the "New Beginnings" approach is calling your name, feel free to delete your save file and start fresh. Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility... to create an even more awesome player this time around!
So, there you
