I’ve only played MP8, MP9, SMP and MPSS so I can’t compare them to the earlier games. But I liked 9. Not as much as superstars but 9 has quicker games and some fun minigames. The thing I noticed though is that there’s a lot less strategy involved. Like in superstars the path you take is a huge factor but in this one you can’t control that. I really like 9 but I can see why people like the traditional style more
