If there were no approx. 23 degree axial tilt of Earth, relative to its orbit around the Sun, what makes you think seasons wouldn't exist? Seems to me that instead of having a change in seasons, they would be only be localized instead of also annual time-dependent. IOW, around equator there would always be summer, and further enough away from equator there would be winter (if those terms are even applicable for a planet with no axial tilt relative to its orbit around its star).
(yes I'm being pedantic)
