Personally, I wish they'd change Greed to Modesty (or some other word that's the opposite of greed), so that it's easier to judge a player's character at a quick glance, without requiring the mental flip of the 4th characteristic.

I might change it to two variables, if it were up to me-- one positive and one neutral (though the second will sound negative).
The problem with one is that high Greed players not only demand more money, but they seem to demand more things like playing time. The desire for money is quite different: If a player cares mostly about money and has a lucrative long-term contract (not incentive-driven) he'd care less about how much he plays.
The positive one would be Modesty or Humility. Players high on that scale would tend not to get inflated opinions of themselves and be less demanding in general for the good of the team. Altruism is too wide-ranging for that, as it would imply such behavior toward other players as well as toward fans, and thus be a factor in leadership and more in popularity than this would. Its negative opposite would be Egotism.
The neutral (bad sounding) one would be Materialism. I can't think of a good "reverse" name for it, but it's really neutral from a GM perspective in that a materialistic player (especially if low in Modesty) will demand more money, but a high score there would tend to mean if he's getting paid well he won't worry about much else. Got a crappy team but wanting to sign him or keep him? If he's very high on Materialism, he'll take the deal as long as he doesn't think he can make more elsewhere. The same with not worrying so much about his role on the team, unless he needs certain levels to vest his contract or get bonuses.
It has its bad side as well, but wouldn't mean he's selfish. Low Modesty would mean a selfish player more. He'll still demand more money if the variable is high, but just because he'll weigh money is his decision-making more than other players.

Sounds like a glitch. Hmm.
