Mode settings have been replaced by quality settings, as follows:

--quality <quality>,<quality>,...
TV and radio recording quality preference.  See --tv-quality and 
--radio-quality for available values and defaults. Default: default for 
programme type.

--radio-quality <quality>,<quality>,...
Radio recording quality preference (overrides --quality): 
high,std,med,low,default (Aliases: 320k,128k,96k,48k). Comma-delimited 
list in descending order of preference. Default: high,std,med,low.

--tv-lower-bitrate, --tvlbr
Prefer 25fps (or lower-bitrate 50fps) streams for TV programmes if 
available.

--tv-quality <quality>,<quality>,...
TV recording quality preference (overrides --quality): 
fhd,hd,sd,web,mobile,default (Aliases: 1080p,720p,540p,396p,288p). 
Comma-delimited list in descending order of preference. Default: 
hd,sd,web,mobile

For further help, use the --helplong switch.
