Not officially, but one would think he will be. He was at their Media Day event and refers to himself as "the number one draft pick."

He will be the cover guy if they are doing traditional covers

I don't think Take Two is going to give VC a huge marketing budget. That's probably why Thomas keeps repeating "It's a game for the fans". Basically, I think he's saying that Take Two is going to keep things low from a budget standpoint to see the overall reaction from the fans themselves. The football market is not an easy place to get into, and even though there's a history, Take Two may feel that the money can be saved on a "wait and see" approach. If the game gets a welcomed response from the general community, and generates a small buzz that shows a market appeal, they'll probably raise the budget and request VC to continue with the series. Thomas did say that he had no idea if it would be a continued series, which pretty much tells us, that Take Two may see this as a big risk. Who knows though?
