Yes this is real football. Very good. I think this as blue collar football.

Yes, very quickly. I believe it’s a 20 second play clock.

It's regular football, not arena.

From last week's thread

Any rules different compared to the NFL? Yes, they want kickoffs to be exciting again so rules for that are different. In addition there will be no PATs, instead they will attempt to convert from scrimmage, from the 2 yard line for one point, from the 5 yard line for two points, or from the 10 yard line for three points. Turnovers on conversion attempts can be returned for the same number of points. Double forward passes are allowed (if both are behind the line of scrimmage). Overtime will be a 2-point conversion shootout. The play clock will be 25 seconds.

“Do they play real football?”

absolutely! REAL NFL football! but with a few simple rule changes that make the game MUCH less boring, safer, and much easier to ref ... in fact, i’d LOVE to see every XFL rule change adopted by the NFL ...
