no it would not.
If it were in a perfect orbit.
the sun would hit the same amount of area
constantly everyday and the same amount of time every day
and would therefore barely vary at all in years.

Only if the axis of rotation were perfectly vertical with respect to the
plane of the orbit.
As long as it is as 23 degrees off the vertical, you will get the same
seasons we see.
