NHL Threes Now

For the second straight year in a row, I have had this issue upon completing the Threes Circuit and earning every star, every arena in Threes Row remains unlocked. For NHL 24, I would contact EA honestly once a month and get the same answer every time: "let me relay this to the team," and nothing would get done about it. I never had this issue in 23. I have now had this issue on two different consoles and in the latest two installments of the game. Am I doing something wrong when it comes to Threes? I do the right difficulty level. The screen shows me everything I unlocked upon beating a team in Circuit mode. Why can't I play in these areas at Threes Now? I enjoy the Threes mode as it is quick to pick up and have fun games with friends. However, to play in the Bridgestone area, I always have to be the "Fridge Raiders" and play against Nashville in Circuit mode. I want to be Nashville, not the Fridge Raiders. Does anyone have any advice or the same issue?
