All I did was check the box to include pictures. Now, granted, the GUBA only does facegen updates 3 times per OOTP year (opening day, all star break, offseason after free agency), but still it's a little bit of a stretch to have commishes uploading over half a gig, no?
First of all, you don't have to have pictures at all (much less for every single player in every single level of the universe). But, if you want them, how do you expect them to be any smaller? Yes, JPG is more compressed than PNG, but it's not legal to use. Other than that, there is no option to make the files smaller that I know of.

But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past, Frodo. It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again. Oh... beings will come Frodo. Beings will most definitely come." - Gladden Field of Dreams
