Yep, the faster and more competitive a game becomes, the less time there is to think/react/move, and the more the game becomes defined by which team can perform the basics better. But in this situation, if you can pull off something interesting, it usually ends up in a goal - not by the player that pulled it off, but by the sudden massive increase in pressure it creates as the opposition scrambles to recover and can't because the game's moving too fast. A dummy is expected and prepared against, whereas a rolling inverted 180 can cut an entire team apart before anybody's figured out what just happened.
