Yeah, the replay stuff is the best. The punting rules are good because you get a lot more going for it on 4th because if you punt in into the endzone or out of bounds it comes out to the 35. Also the kickoffs are good, the defense starts at i think the return teams 35 and cant move till the ball is caught, and the ball has to land between the 20 and the goal line or there are big penalties, so theres always a return but id say its a bit safer. Tge play clock is only 25 seconds i think so play is sped up, but i dont know exactly how it works but after the 2 minute warning there are clock rules that keep the clock from just being run out. And last is no extra point kicks, 1 point try from the 2, 2 point try from the 5 and a 3 point try from the 10 yard line.

The 4th quarter of this Dallas/LA game is pretty darn exciting

2 weeks in with XFL 3.0 (2.1?) and I've enjoyed it. Similar to 2020
They need to find a new place for the Las Vegas Vipers to play home games. That "stadium" sucks.
Look forward to the huge crowds for Battlehawks hope opener in a week and a half.
The rules for kick offs, points after touchdown, and fourth quarter on-side kick/4th and 25 are great.
Instant Replay transparency and quickness is awesome.

I watched a bit of a game this weekend. They need to tone down the amount of play calling viewers get to hear. Casual viewers like to hear announcers set the scene.
