i know its the same rules and all. but do each league have different styles of play? does one league play at a faster pace than the other? or slower? i just got into soccer, so i really don’t know much.

-most teams play physical, counter-attacking football. speed and strength are the main attributes. lots of shots from distance and referees are very tolerant
-Passing game, very technical, even goalkeepers. you would rarely see any shots from distance
-Defensive football. they put 1-3 players upfront and they are supposed to score, the rest of the team defends
-similar to spanish la liga

This changes from league to league and is influenced by lots of things. I’m generalizing when i say one is faster than the other, but the answer is in line with your question
English Premiere League
Is the fastest and most physical
Teams also play the most games in a season
Top Teams – Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham
Spanish La Liga
Is the most technically adept
The pace is fast but it is less physical
Top Teams – Barcalona, Real Madrid, Valencia
Italian Seria A
Is technically adept
Most teams prefer to counter attack
Top Teams – AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Roma
Germany Bundesliga
Is the best administered league
Teams play a more organised version of English style football
Top Teams – Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen, Hamburg
