steam launching through origin only

I'm trying to launch the game through the EA beta app because I dislike origin for a hell of reasons.

The problem is I bought the game through the steam library and I can't really make it launch through the EA app instead of origin.

Anyone can help me with this.

    @EA_Atic

    Your answer is not in the right direction to my question. When I start the game through steam it launched Origin and the game start through Origin.

    What I want is when I click to play in steam since it operates outside of steam to use EA App beta instead.

    I'm pretty sure Steam LITE has nothing to do for me here. If I'm correct Steam LITE is just a way to launch steam in a way to use fewer computer resources.

    So in the end this is not a solution to the issue.

    @Seeko94TTv since you bought the game through Steam, you have to launch the game through Steam which then launches the game though Origin. I don't think there is way to only use the EA Desktop App since you didn't buy the game directly from EA.

    Ok simply by having the EA app running and then locating the game files through steam and then just launching the game through the game .exe it works with the EA app without issues . So this lead me to one conclusion that it is possible to launch the game through the EA app even if I purchased it through steam.

    This is tested with KnockOut City which I purchased through steam .

    All I understand is that Ea and Origin software both operate in the same way. Also in the future origin will be removed and the EA app is going to be the software for the future.

    So it's either not supported yet because the EA app is beta which can be a reasonable reason or it's something developers did miss and it needs to be fixed.
