There are some slight visual differences on those things 

Yes. Those minute things can be differentiated especially when you use customized multicolour backgrounds with 'overlay' as your board (like mine) . The background I am using looks just amazing in /live than in /play. That's why I just mentioned this. Apart from this small difference, I am really happy with /play. 

Thanks for your time

come on, highlights are not missing, even more advanced, in /play you can highlight a square not only with red but also with blue, yellow and green, holding nothing or shift or control or alt, same about arrows. You can't do this in /live

Also there are emoticons, I do not use them though, but at least know they exist

 

so these features not only exist in /play but even far more advanced

The poster that mentioned it means the red color is a deeper red in the old Live Chess interface

I have a few questions/issues about the new interface

1. How do I do the 'game review' analysis after I just finished a game in the new interface? In the old version it was near the chat where the share/button are. I regularly play in tournaments so I have tabs open for that and the game

2. When in focus mode, and you click your opponents profile photo, it shows their rating information. The problem is that the load time for it takes about 2 seconds. It's not that much but the old interface was instant. I use the feature constantly because  because I play different openings for people of different ratings ranges. Those 2 seconds every time add up. It's faster to exit focus mode, take a quick look and go back to focus mode

edit.
3. Why are the buttons for settings/maximize site so TINY?

I too love live chess, but what I have observed so far is, /play has almost everything which was there in /live. Even if /play lacks something as of now, I am very sure that chesscom is gonna take of those things once they update their servers.

What so you think is missing?

Alright! It might sound silly, but I miss that dark red colour when you right click on the squares to highlight. That looks so beautiful 😍. It's missing in /play. Highlighted square looks very dull here. And overall, I feel the interface looks very intense and beautiful to me in /live. /Play interface looks somewhat mild when compared to /live. Correct me if I am wrong @Martin_Stahl 🙂
