Different motivations and potentially different behaviors. The Non who's a player is a guy who likes women and is primarily interested in having sex with as many women as possible simply to satisfy himself physically. The Narc player may or may not have a high sex drive. He may actually have a lot of hangups about sex. But because our culture values men who are able to snag a lot of women, Narc men will often try to become players for the purpose of feeding their egos, not solely for physical pleasure. The primary motivation of the Narc player is to quench his ego, not his sex drive.
In terms of follow through, Narc players are likely to sexually tease women, because again, what they're trying to satisfy is their ego, which involves proving that a woman wants them and being able to brag about it to other men and be deemed a stud. So once a Narc man snags a woman's phone number or garners her interest in having sex with him, he will often lose interest in her because he's already gotten all the supply he needs from her, and going any further with her would cost time and money that could best be spent on something else. The Non who's a player, on the other hand, will almost certainly call a girl if he gets her number, buy her dinner, etc, because his goal is to have sex with her, not just try to make her want him to feed his ego.
Basically, the Non's goal is to make the woman sleep with him, and the Narc's goal is to make the woman want him.
