Confusing Rocket League selection

I play a lot of Rocket League and this menu selection still trips me up every once in a while.

The correct action to get to "FIND MATCH", for a controller, is to press (A) on "PLAY ONLINE".

But I found myself when I first started, and sometimes still, trying to use the right D-pad button (move right) to get to "FIND MATCH".

I believe I do this because it's lined up exactly and I can see that next menu there. I treat it almost like a hover drop down menu. I assume other people have this problem.

What could RL do to make it more obvious that you need to click (A) or is this a common theme found in games?

Other than putting "Press (A)" on the button itself.
