For some reason, everything I tried that was online about resolution independence doesn't really work the way I would want it to. Most of the solutions suggest a way to get the width and height and then use a class with them, but the result is always a cutoff picture(too big picture) or a picture in the top left corner with smaller height and width than those of the screen.
P.S. The game is in fullscreen, but we tried windowed and it didn't work either.
This is actually a pretty simple fix. Basically, create a RenderTarget object somewhere and do all your drawing to that object, then resize that to the screen.
Use GraphicsDevice.SetRenderTarget(target) to change the render target, then do all your drawing operations, then change it back to the back buffer afterwards by setting it to null. RenderTargets actually derive from Texture2D, so you can use it in as an argument, such as: SpriteBatch.Draw(renderTarget, Viewport.Bounds, Color.White), and this will stretch it to fit the screen.
