On Stage 2 ME7 and I had all BRL and PR56.0. Watching his videos, he more aggressively bot managed than I had and his targets were lower (easier than mine).

The reason I say Upgrade Tiers is that when I looked at Speed-Junkies videos, his targets were harder than ME7's or mine, meaning that with 0 upgrades, Speed Junkie was getting a harder draw with 7 upgrades.

You can go back to the comments as I put in the details there.

The only alternative explanation is that they are determining based on an algorithm based on global player rank, though I seriously doubt I am ranked higher in the game than ME7. I do not think this necessarily holds true though if you are in the red under PR (not orange). I significantly lost 4.4 five times in a row turning in a speed under 80 mph and the goal remained 149.29 mph for me. Mine decreased once I applied a GC upgrade (1121111) and further decreased when upgraded again (1131111) however it still would not drop the new goal of 149.06 mph as I was still solid red for recommended PR. For others where they have applied some or all of level 2 GC upgrades the bots do slow down but again only if you are green or orange on the PR (wish I had done some screen caps to prove this).

I think you can only slow bots in SEs by managing in previous goals.
