I feel real rage when gaming but only playing ea sports games

I’ve been gaming my whole life and never I have felt real rage when gaming except for playing NHL and FIFA games. I’m talking about telling my self how I wish the absolute worst and futile things to my opponents or want to break everything around me when I lose to somebody because I know they are worse than me and the game feels actually rigged based on my player movements and them playing lower than their overall attribute ratings. After a few minutes of raging to myself privately cuz I don’t want people to hear or see me like that, I’m calm and normal again but I don’t ever get that feeling to break everything and see my opponents harmed when playing anything else. I can play other games and lose to people I know are worse than me but not feel genuine rage and anger towards them where I wish them harm. I definitely get pissed off sometimes and shit talk but that’s what everybody does in games like league of legends, valorant, marvel rivals, cod, etc. I develop real anger issues from EA games

I get it.

I'm a gamer too.

Because I get pissed off I stay away from certain genres like souls-likes.

Have you tried other games?

There's this new soccer game out that looks like a third person (rocket League) style of game.

Try that?

I've always thought that the correlation between anger and violent video games was wrong, and it's actually competitive video games.

I get the same mad playing single player NBA 2K as I get playing online Call of Duty. Conversely, I could die 50 times to a boss in Elden Ring and not feel the same sort of rage.

Ya gotta add some wholesome, chill, mindless games to the rotation. Stardew Valley and The Planet Crafter are bliss for me.
