Help me chill out so I can enjoy H2H
As some of you are aware I get extremely angry online. Not just Madden, I even get mad on FB and different forums when people talk to me any kind of way disrespectfully. Like if I had the money. I'd fly to their house and bang their door down at 3 am. Sometimes I wonder if I need counseling. I tried to go to see a counselor at the VA but I ended up getting into an argument with HIM and I stormed out. I even get angry during during Solo Battles when the computer scores on me and they celebrate. I get angry at Nightbot even. Look, I know you fellows think I'm just trolling, but I get so angry online I can't even think straight. As soon as my OP does something positive on Offense I literally take it extremely personally. I start feeling my chest getting warm and I just start getting extremely angry to the point where I cant play well period. I'd love to be able just relax and play. I see streamers online and they're so nonchalant about it.The only way I can relax and play well Is when I'm drunk and/or high. Then I play great! When in this state I've won 8 in a row and won Super Bowls! Sober? Forget it.....
First of all, I kind of understand. I'm choleric myself, so yea, I sometimes scream at the screen and stuff like that and my girlfriend just can't watch me play Madden. I also understand that person can have deep issues, cause I've been through some shit myself too and I went into therapy.
So as numerous people already said here - the way you describe this, this is a task for a professional. Go out there and find a therapist. Try to understand you need help and try to listen to them rather than arguing.
Imagine you would once give up to your emotions and cause someone harm. As a father, do you want to end up in jail? Or messing up with someone who would pull out a gun? I guess not. I mean the way you describe this, enjoying H2H doesn't seem to be the primary concern.
Good luck.
I would agree with counseling. I'm in the field myself as a client and practitioner so I've been around the block. The system totally blows ass trying to navigate and go through trial and error when a lot of agencies themselves are useless, but once you find the right treatment it makes a world of a difference.
And don't listen to the ignorance out there of how it's useless or whatever. There's people who don't believe in any of this despite all evidence contrary to their views. I had times my insomnia was so bad I was up all night, went to work anyway and fell asleep while driving back home. It cost me $600 one time to get the alignment in my car fixed. The shit can actually kill you in situations like that if not treated. So I'd say it's pretty damn legit.

Yeah. These might possibly be the worst shoutouts you could have possibly given. Unless of course this is all BS and you are just an attention seeking whore. If these emotions you experience are indeed for real, I think the only hope is medication and perhaps a padded room.
Simple answer, don't play H2H and gets some counseling. Naming Hawks and Dreverse as your Muthead shout outs clearly shows your in trouble.
Lots of people have serious issues and problems in their lives yet they come here every day with a positive attitude and commitment to the community, those 2 mentioned are literally the worst people we've had here lately. You want a Mut role model, Slammer is your guy. That dudes been through actual hell yet he's a positive light in our community.
You need to look at yourself and acknowledge the problem, take steps to correct those problems and get yourself some actually useful roll models to help you.

Clearly you missed the fact that OP seems to just have anger problems in general. Many people do. Recognizing it and that it is unhealthy is the first step towards doing something about it.
My advice to you OP, seek out the youtube channel exurb1a and binge watch his videos. They are short and entertaining and they will enlighten you (philosophical enlightenment).

I know it’s hard in the moment trust sometimes this game gets the best of me too haha but at the end of the day it’s a super flukey video game that doesn’t affect our real day to day lives. Try to go into it purely having fun or as much fun as you can have with madden.

Hopefully some of this helps in some way and just take it easy brother.
I hope you take my advice this time: This is way beyond the scope of anything the posters on this forum can help you with, and probably beyond your ability to develop coping strategies for on your own, and you should find a therapist.
Lol we're not your therapists. Just saying sounds like you need some professional help if you would fly out to talk trash to someone. Muthead cant help you. You need to find that help on your own. Don't let this game get to you. Take some time off of it or something. Don't buy madden 20 if it makes you this angry. Help yourself out. Health is wealth
Getting angry at a videogame when you have 4 kids just means you dont have your priorities straight.
I agree seeking someone to talk to. That helped me a huge ton.

This is the 5th or 6th time you've created a thread like this!! The community has given you nothing but great ideas on how to not get so upset over Madden, and yet you keep making the thread. Either take the advice or stop playing the game. SIMPLE!!
H2H can get really frustrating when peeps run the same cheese over and over but they quit really quick once you stop it. The other players are fun to play, win or lose
Does your state have legal weed yet? Hitting up the local dispensary will either a) make you not care about how frustrating H2H can be at times, or b) physically reduce your anger or desire to be angry.
Anyways, wish you best of luck in getting that sorted. I will say, the fact that you're able to admit it is a huge first step that most of the dudes who flip out on the mic haven't taken yet. With your acceptance of the problem, my money is on you figuring it out.

I'm married with 4 kids and that isn't an issue lol but really My libidio is pretty much in the crapper. Family court and 21 years of child support will do that to ya. Thanks for the response.
Life is too short to spend on madden with or without anyone who loves you, but in your case I really think you should spend time with your family. You don't wanna look back and regret the time sink on stupid games with your limited time when it could've gone where it actually matters.
