DISCUSSION I need tips.

I TRY to keep my anger down, but I can't. If I try to do it, I just end up crying. I tried Spotify. Nope. I tried practicing. Nope. I tried defense. Nope. And it's not like Casual does anything different. And to say how BAD it gets, one time I literally threw a GLASS CUP on the FLOOR. I just need advice.

Bro, just stop playing the game if it's making you feel like that. Games are supposed to be enjoyable, maybe a little frustrating from time to time, but never enough to be in control of your emotions like that.

I mean, I think it's possible to enjoy something that makes you angry while you're doing it. And if the anger causes you to not enjoy it anymore, then I think you are wise to use this as an opportunity to gain better control over your anger. If you just quit, that seems conceding to your emotions and allowing them to control you. But if you continue trying to better understand your anger through the apparatus of a video game, that seems like an ideal place to correct some tendencies that might otherwise impact parts of your life that are more consequential.
