But what if you for example have an object where the speed is higher in the middle of the motion but you want to decrease the amount of motion blur?

This can easily be adjusted for each composition you are working with by going up to the menu, clicking “Composition”, “Composition Settings” and click the tab “Advanced”.

Here, under “Motion Blur”, you simply decrease the number next to “Shutter Angle” and click “Enter” to activate the changes.
