When comparing Madden NFL 16 vs Batman: Arkham Asylum, the Slant community recommends Batman: Arkham Asylum for most people. In the question“What are the best PS4 (PlayStation 4) games?” Batman: Arkham Asylum is ranked 117th while Madden NFL 16 is ranked 142nd. The most important reason people chose Batman: Arkham Asylum is:
Arkham Asylum is the first game to bring us freeflow brawler melee combat in its full glory. It invented the combat genre where you fight a multitude of enemies who take turns attacking you, while the player has a basic attack, a parry+counter and a combat roll. Getting multiple hits in on enemies builds up a combo streak that makes batman stronger. This streak is reset by getting hit by an enemy. Other games, like Assassin's Creed, had superficially similar combat systems, but not as optimized as this and they did not feature hit/combo streaks. Arkham Asylum's freeflow combat system is very suitable to be played with controllers.

Pros
Pro Quarterbacks have been given a couple new weapons
The most notable here is being able to do a touch pass - putting barely enough air on the ball to get it over the head of a linebacker, but not high enough for the safety to grab it.
Pro The focus on this game's changes were to the passing game
They've added a few new ways to catch passes on the fly that really bring a lot to the game. You now have the "aggressive catch" button, which will come in handy if your receiver is guarded closely. It will make big, highlight-reel style catches, giving you a bit higher of a chance of catching the ball if you've got a defender right on you.
You also have the "run after catch" option, which is used when you're not guarded very heavily. You'll just make an effortless catch on the ball and keep on chugging along, which is usually the end goal anyhow.
Pro Not just another roster update
Madden NFL 16 is in no way just another roster update; gameplay mechanics have received incredibly big changes in order to get the game into the current state it's in.
Pro Freeflow combat pioneer

Pro Fun stealth & gadgets
Remaining stealthy and getting stealth takedowns is important in Arkham Asylum's gameplay. Arkham Asylum gives the player a relatively large number of different gadgets to use for different combat purposes, such as ranged takedowns, cutting ropes, diverting enemies' attention, blasting through doors, traversing longer distances and hacking.
Cons
Con Still filled with microtransactions
While none of them are pay to win, it still feels a little gross overall.
Con Dark atmosphere
You won't realize how many shades of black exist until you've played an Arkham game. It's always dark outside, so to people who like daylight and colors in their games, this might get a bit dull after a while.
