Hi @bb8569 @stuehlar649,

As you seem to be describing the same issue, I've merged your threads. 😉

On Xbox there's an option in game settings to adjust the size of the screen which might help. It's under Game options > Other > Adjust margins.

On PlayStation, this option is not available from the in-game settings because the game takes your console settings. This means you can adjust margins from PlayStation settings: from the PlayStation 4 home screen go to Settings > Sound and Screen > Display Area Settings

Could you try that?

You can also try to play with your TV settings.

Let us know if that helps!

-Mai

Edited to add PlayStation 4 settings to the solution post, more visible for everyone 🙂

When you're in the game, press the button that has the 3 horizontal lines on it. This should pull up a screen in the middle of the board the allows you to select the game options and follow the instructions of the previous poster.

We had the same problem. Once in the game (we were on the avatar screen), press the button on your controller with the 3 horizontal lines. This will pull up a box in the middle of the screen with game options on it.

Hello,
I am having the same issues too with my ps4. I read the thread and followed the directions multiple times and the problem is still not resolved.

You may also need to mess with the resolution in your TV settings or the scaling on your TV settings or in the console settings. Check that the TV or console zoom feature or any other picture adjustment feature isn't on.
