Start with the controls and shooting timing, then practise a single dribble move and one finishing move before joining casual matches.

Which guide helps me improve fastest?

The dribble tutorial and the finishing guide together cover the two skills that separate new players from competent ones.

Are these walkthroughs current for Stress Test 3?

No. Every guide lists keyboard-and-mouse inputs alongside controller bindings, so PC, Xbox, and PS5 players can all follow along.
