Player Personality traits are directly related to their actual personality ratings and are not indicative of how a player really is in real life. Or maybe they are, players have a reputation for things like that, but it is most likely kinda random in this game

I'll translate for you:

"He has a good head on his shoulders and works as hard as anyone" = He has a high intelligence and work ethic

"BUT, He cares more about himself than he does the team" = He isn't Very Loyal and probably not a leader


My guess is most players have a reputation that is pretty well known or actually scouted, but that doesn't mean it isn't kind of random in this game

They are just generic descriptions that tell us a little about his actual personality ratings without actually having to look at the BNN Page of the player to see the Very high, high, normal, low, very low ratings of the player
