Where a skirmish match of Supreme Commander might take 90 minutes or more, Supreme Commander 2 games are reliably over in 45. In Supreme Commander 2 meanwhile, you can reliably decide "I'm going to get the building that's basically just a big cannon which fires tanks at the enemy" and then do it.
If you're experienced, you might simply find the game is over long before you manage it. If you're inexperienced, you might irrecoverably crash your economy in the process. In Supreme Commander 1, you might decide you're going to aim to build one of the experimental units, an enormous flying saucer. The result is a game in which carrying out your chosen strategy is much easier than the original.
It also introduces a tech tree which gives you a faster route towards the series' mammoth experimental units. SC2 throws out two key things from the original: one, the complicated economic model which allowed you to build larger units than you could currently afford and two, the massive size of the maps. Supreme Commander 2 is derided by fans of the series for the ways in which it differed from the original Supreme Commander, but I would never have got into the original massive-scale real-time strategy game if it wasn't for this smaller, more accessible sequel. One a day, every day of the year, perhaps for all time. Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives.
