I also had some issues with the above posted solution.

The problem is:
if ($value !== NULL) {

$value is an empty array, and thus not NULL, so I got it working using this:

function my_acf_load_value($value, $post_id, $field) {
    if (!empty($value)) {
      // if the value is exactly NULL it means
      // the field has never been updated
      // we don't want to change fields that have already been editied
      return $value;
    }
    // set the new field value
    $value = array(
      // add a nested array for each row
      array(
        // add an array item for each sub field (use field key - not name)
        'field_key_here' => 'field 1',
        'field_key_here' => 'field 2'
      )
    );   return $value;
  }
  add_filter('acf/load_value/name=games', 'my_acf_load_value', 10, 3);
