PC Bug: "M" key opens EA Tracks while typing player names.

Is anyone else struggling with this on FC26 PC?

EA added a shortcut where pressing “M” opens EA Tracks, but the problem is that it triggers even when you’re typing in search fields.

Example:

Go to the Transfer Market

Try searching Musiala, Messi, Martinelli, etc.

The moment you press M, the game pauses and opens Tracks, killing the search


It feels like the game doesn’t recognise when you’re actively typing. Global hotkeys should be disabled in text input fields — this is basic UX.

Right now, searching with a keyboard is genuinely frustrating unless you avoid the letter M entirely.

Also, while we’re at it:
Why did EA never bring back the Career Mode shortcut to view league tables from the main hub? Since FC25 you have to go Office → Standings just to see the table. It’s unnecessary menu diving for something fundamental.

I’ve reported the Tracks issue to EA already, but I’m curious:

Are other PC players experiencing this?

Any workarounds you’ve found?

Do you think EA will patch this or ignore PC keyboard users again?
