818 Context
Information is not the same as a progression
Kiv’s published Cross Wheels lesson shows how a player turns the defensive picture into an actual read. Field General can change the information shown at an eligible tier, but it does not choose the receiver, time the throw, or replace the play’s progression.

Three checks before you build around it
What changes by tier?
Bronze lists a post-snap blitzer cue. Silver moves to nearby pre-snap blitzers, Gold adds the coverage shell, and Platinum adds a slight ability to see disguised coverages.
What does “on schedule” mean here?
The source description makes “when on schedule” a condition of the ability. This page does not expand that phrase beyond the published snapshot or imply the information appears on every play.
What still belongs to the user?
You still identify the matchup, follow the play’s read order, account for disguise, and decide whether the throw is available.
