Have a Happy Thanksgiving ! This year my anniversary is Thanksgiving day , so today is a double celebration ! <| sep |> There is no need to disconnect from the transaction server , only your peer . <| sep |> We know the reason . hahahaha . Prior to a 2012 rule change , IR was a season ender . It was a way to unburden teams from having to cut injured plays who were taking up needed roster spots . Prior to 2012 , players could never come back from the IR . The 2012 rule change added the ability to bring back one player . So , the presumed reason isn ' t inaccurate but it isn ' t accurate either . They didn ' t need to put a rule in place to avoid teams from abusing IR . IR has always been structured to be ungameable . <| sep |> If it was the like the originals it would be really under powered compared to the other tacticals
