    Worth noting, but I assumed that the current WoH will be considered the 'easier' of the two modes and the prizes will be similar to what we've seen. However, I could certainly be wrong. @Bigpredfan first alluded to it, but i took it as a joke. He mentioned that the 'other' mode will just have lower prizes and lowered difficulty on pitching. Man....if that's the case? Freaking buzz kill! :(
    My thought process is that there will be 3 modes, 1 above the current difficulty and 1 below it. Of course it is speculation, but the best way to get people excited is to have a difficulty level where all players can beat it. If you don’t have a great team, here is the rookie level and you can choose it and cycle. Can you beat it now, but it takes a whole lot?  Good!  Here is the middle level of difficulty. Find it too easy?  Here is the difficult level. Each level with their own prizes. Could even be something where the level 5 prize is always a box and you get more boxes for the difficult level(s). There is really no telling what they plan on. 
    It could be like you said or it could also be the same boxes but with the odds within those boxes for the top/bottom players changing depending on the difficulty mode.

    @Bigpredfan Dude, I really an a dummy at times. Your thoughts make a lot of sense. For some reason, which I can't explain, I initially thought current/new(tougher) modes. However, 'tower difficulty' suggests that there will be more than two different difficulty levels. Dude, I'm even more excited! haa

    Hopefully you will be able to chose either level of difficulty throughout the event. That way you can cycle at all levels.

    I agree with that @ZaneJ78! Really would suck to be stuck on whatever level you initially select.

    I'm going to guess that you will be able to change from one mode to another for a reasonable gold fee, but will wipe out progress in doing so (so as you cannot just get to level 5 and then switch to easy mode to make it through, or get to level 5 and then switch to hard mode to get the better rewards, et cetera). Sort of like resetting your team during season mode.

    Makes perfect sense.

    Also, something else comes to mind. Last year as your team progressed, so did your rewards from winning a round of walk-off. For example. 

    Bronze, 2,000 cash only
    silver, 2,000 or 2500 cash
    gold, 2,000; 2500; or 3,000 cash  

    platinum added 4,000 and diamond 5,000. Could this change based on the difficulty you choose?  Who knows

    There is also an option we have ignored so far. "Tower difficulty" could also mean that it would get harder/easier on subsequent cycles.

    I thought this was already in place in 2018, but instead of cycles it was time of day 😏

    So you're saying they didn't really change anything other than calling that a "feature" now? 🤨

    @Houmy @Bigpredfan @DFBB your all wrong. I know these things, the new mode will simply be increased rewards. x2 for the harder mode. Same odds as before. I would stake @Houmy personal club as the wager.

    Can't wait to see what the WOH difficulty tower is. Could it be what I had begged for since they introduced multiple woh prizes in 18? Play hard mode and get the guaranteed top prize?
    This is definitely nice. You led the charge and it always made so much sense. I felt WoH was way too easy last year(Nobody should be able to cycle at will), but it was still tough for some of the newer guys. I can't wait for Monday!


    The number of people who thought WOH was "too easy" are few and far between.  This is not meant as a criticism at all, but many people who play don't have time to cycle 20 times, as you sometimes did last year.  And, many did not find even their one cycle very easy -- I had a pretty good team last year and there were times when it cost me 2K gold to get through the tower, with numerous failed attempts along the way.  If this becomes an excuse to make sure that the decent prizes are only available to those who beat peak Edwin Diaz (from 2018), it is going to cause a lot of frustration and eventually disinterest.

    I hope this ends up being a good thing, but I am reserving judgment. 

    I totally agree, not everyone found it easy including myself, to make it more difficult now would be unfair to those of us who can’t cycle and can hardly beat it once imo. Some of us don’t exploit the game.

    I guess if you can multi cycle with ease it means you exploit the game? lol

    I'd rather wait for @Itsouttahere2 to explain his accusations before responding....however, please don't take too long. :)

    I hope this is the case. Progress the tiers per cycle. Leave the first cycle as it has been, up the difficulty and rewards after each completion.

    Borderlands/Diablo style ftw!

    My apologies to all, bad choice of words, 
    How about “ navigating the game with ease “ some of us unfortunately haven’t gotten to that level yet and if they Increase the difficulty probably never will.

    Yeah this update is such a huge improvement overall, like 18 and 19 were beta-bad improvements...
    Not focusing on fan rewards but leveling a player counted towards gold and didn't require something like a store purchase to keep it after app restart.
